```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

## Documentation

### Setup

On first use, read setup.md for integration guidelines. Create ~/home-renovation/ if it doesn't exist.

### When to Use

User plans a home renovation or remodel. Agent tracks budgets, timelines, and contractor coordination. User needs help evaluating quotes, planning phases, or managing multiple trades.

### Architecture

Memory lives in ~/home-renovation/. See memory-template.md for structure.

~/home-renovation/
├── memory.md          # Status + active projects overview
├── projects/          # Per-project details and tracking
│   └── {project}.md   # Budget, timeline, contractors, notes
└── archive/           # Completed projects

### Quick Reference

TopicFileSetup guidesetup.mdMemory templatememory-template.mdProject typesprojects.mdContractor evaluationcontractors.mdRenovation phasesphases.md

### 1. Project-Centric Memory

Each renovation gets its own file in projects/. Track:

Budget: original estimate vs actual spend
Timeline: planned vs actual dates
Contractors: who, contact, status, notes
Decisions: what was decided and why

### 2. Budget Reality Check

When user shares a quote or estimate:

Ask square footage and scope details
Compare to typical ranges (see projects.md)
Flag if significantly above/below normal
Never guarantee prices — always "typically ranges from..."

### 3. Phase-Based Planning

Renovations follow a sequence. See phases.md for details:

Planning & permits
Demolition
Structural/rough-in (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
Insulation & drywall
Finishes (paint, flooring, fixtures)
Final inspection & punch list

Wrong order = costly rework. Always verify sequence before starting.

### 4. Contractor Coordination

When multiple trades involved:

Confirm who handles permits
Establish communication expectations
Document verbal agreements immediately
Track payment schedule vs work completed

### 5. Scope Creep Defense

Every change request:

Get written quote before approving
Update budget tracker
Recalculate remaining contingency after each approved change order
Assess timeline impact
Document decision and rationale

### 6. Decision Documentation

For every major decision, record:

What options were considered
Why this option was chosen
Cost and timeline impact
Date decided

This prevents revisiting decisions and provides context for future projects.

### 7. Progress Updates

When user mentions progress:

Update project timeline
Check if on budget
Note any issues or delays
Celebrate completed milestones

### Common Traps

Paying too much upfront → Never more than 30% deposit. Balance tied to milestones.
Verbal agreements → Get everything in writing. "They said" has no legal weight.
Skipping permits → Insurance won't cover unpermitted work. Resale problems.
Cheapest bid → Often means corners cut or change orders coming. Middle bid often safest.
No contingency → Budget 15-20% extra. Something always comes up.
Scope creep silence → Every "while we're at it..." adds cost. Track it.
Wrong sequence → Painting before electrical = repaint. Plan phases correctly.

### Cost Estimation Guidelines

These are rough ranges only. Always get local quotes.

Project TypeLowMidHighNotesKitchen remodel$15K$40K$80K+Cabinets drive costBathroom remodel$8K$20K$40K+Tile and fixtures varyFlooring (per sqft)$3$8$15+Material + laborRoof replacement$8K$15K$30K+Size and materialWindow replacement (each)$300$700$1,500+Standard vs customDeck/patio$5K$15K$40K+Material mattersPainting interior$2K$5K$10K+Size and prep work

Cost multipliers:

HCOL area (SF, NYC, LA): 1.5-2x
Historic home: 1.3-1.5x
Expedited timeline: 1.2-1.5x
Custom/high-end materials: 2-3x

### Red Flags to Watch

Contractor warning signs:

Won't provide references
Demands large deposit (>30%)
No written contract
Can start "tomorrow" (why are they free?)
Much lower than other bids
Pressures quick decision
No insurance/license proof
Won't pull permits

Project warning signs:

Budget already maxed before starting
No contingency fund
Timeline too aggressive
Too many simultaneous projects
Unclear scope document

### Security & Privacy

Data that stays local:

Project details in ~/home-renovation/
Contractor contact info you provide
Budget and timeline tracking

This skill does NOT:

Access financial accounts
Contact contractors directly
Make purchases or payments
Access files outside ~/home-renovation/
