The problem
Writing specs is tedious and error-prone — finding the right MasterFormat division, structuring three-part sections, and referencing the correct ASTM and performance standards for each material.
How it works
The spec writer takes a materials list and produces CSI-structured outline specifications with proper three-part formatting, performance criteria, and referenced standards.
Skills
| Skill | What it covers |
|---|---|
/spec-writer | CSI MasterFormat divisions, three-part sections (General, Products, Execution), performance criteria, referenced standards |
Output
The spec writer produces outline specifications organized by MasterFormat division — ready to expand into full specs or hand to a spec consultant.
