Drop-in skills & reference agents
Bundles of DFH knowledge you can load into Claude, Cursor, or any agent that supports skills — plus hosted reference agents you can chat with right away.
DFH Avaware Takeoff
Converts raw Avaware D&F schedule exports into a clean, consolidated Excel takeoff with hardware shortcodes translated into a readable Preps column. Note: The logic is universal, but the mappings are built around how I structure my Avaware exports. Every purchase includes a working session where I'll show you my setup or adapt the skill to yours...whichever gets you running faster!
Instructions included with purchase
DFH Construction Schedule Review
Upload a construction schedule and this agent will review it from a Division 08 perspective, returning a full overview of all door, frame, and hardware-related activities, plus a detailed activity list. Saves time searching the schedule manually and helps with bid planning and scope reviews.
Division 08 Hardware Catalog Reference GPT
A Custom GPT trained on Division 08 hardware manufacturer catalogs. Ask it about functions, finishes, prep, templates, and approved equals across major hardware lines.

Door Schedule Version Comparison
Compares two versions of a door/opening schedule (e.g., Excel files from different submittal stages or addenda) and produces a complete cell-by-cell change log — added openings, removed openings, and every modified field (size, rating, hardware set, frame type, remarks).
Floor Plan & Door Schedule Cross-Reference
Cross-references a DFH door/opening schedule against architectural floor plan PDFs to determine which room each opening is located in, writes the result into a new Room/Location column, and flags any opening numbers that cannot be found on the plans.
Hardware Spec vs. Door Schedule Comparison
Cross-references hardware sets from a Division 08 hardware spec section (PDF) against a door/opening schedule (Excel) to verify the openings listed under each hardware set in the spec match the set assigned to those openings on the schedule. Checks bidirectionally.
RFI Generator
A custom-trained RFI agent for DFH work. Drop in project documents and it reviews them from a doors, frames & hardware perspective for issues, conflicts, missing details, and unclear requirements.
