# Send Xml Reader to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

### Overview

XML is used in construction for P6 schedules (XER), IFC-XML, COBie-XML, and buildingSMART Data Dictionary exports. This skill parses XML and converts to structured DataFrames.

reader = ConstructionXMLReader()

# Parse XML file
root = reader.parse_file("schedule.xml")

# Find specific elements
activities = reader.find_elements(root, "Activity")
print(f"Found {len(activities)} activities")

# Convert to DataFrame
df = reader.elements_to_dataframe(activities)

### 1. P6 Schedule Import

p6_reader = P6XMLReader()
schedule = p6_reader.parse_full_schedule("p6_export.xml")

activities = schedule['activities']
print(f"Activities: {len(activities)}")

### 2. COBie Data

cobie_reader = COBieXMLReader()
cobie_data = cobie_reader.parse_cobie("facility_cobie.xml")

components = cobie_data.get('Component', pd.DataFrame())

### 3. IFC-XML Analysis

ifc_reader = IFCXMLReader()
root = ifc_reader.parse_file("model.ifcxml")

# Count entity types
types = ifc_reader.get_entity_types(root)
for entity_type, count in sorted(types.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1])[:10]:
    print(f"{entity_type}: {count}")
