skills-for-architects
Claude Code and Codex skills for architecture, real estate, and workplace strategy.
Run 61 domain-specific AI skills inside Claude Code or Codex for design, zoning, and specs.
This plugin adds 61 specialized architectural and real estate skills directly into your Claude Code or Codex environment. It is built for architects, designers, and real estate professionals who want AI assistance governed by professional standards.
What it is
It provides a framework called Arch Studio that organizes AI tasks across practice areas like due diligence, zoning reports, specification writing, and FF&E. Norma, the built-in coordinator, handles requests and creates work plans before starting complex jobs, ensuring building-code and zoning outputs are flagged for professional review.
Who it's for
It suits architecture practices and real estate professionals comfortable using command-line AI tools like Claude Code or Codex. It does not suit teams looking for a standalone web app with a graphical interface.
