Interior Space Planning Optimizer
Generate code-compliant interior layouts with precise furniture placement and traffic flow analysis
What You Can Do
You can rapidly generate detailed, code-compliant space plans that account for specific room dimensions, user requirements, local building codes, and design objectives. The skill performs furniture layout optimization, analyzes traffic flow patterns, verifies accessibility requirements, and identifies spatial conflicts—accelerating design iterations while reducing coordination errors with contractors and clients.
Features
positions pieces based on room measurements, functional zones, and spatial relationships
maps user movement patterns and validates adequate clearances for code compliance
checks ADA/local code requirements for door swings, clear floor space, and accessible routes
verifies egress requirements, minimum room dimensions, and occupancy load capacity
produces 2-3 planning alternatives for rapid client review and design iteration
flags dimensional conflicts, inadequate clearances, and design conflicts before construction
optimizes related functional areas and defines clear boundaries for mixed-use spaces
Example Output

- Bedroom: 12' × 12' with queen bed, 2.5' clearance on three sides, egress window compliant
- Bathroom: 5' × 8' with toilet, vanity, shower in line; 21" clear floor space at fixtures (ADA compliant)
- Code compliance: Egress path clear, minimum room heights met, adequate outlet spacing
Example 2: 1,200 sq ft Medical Clinic
- Reception: 12' × 10' with 36" counter depth, wheelchair accessible approach
- Exam rooms (3): 10' × 12' each with patient privacy, 5' turning radius verified
- Staff work area: 10' × 8' with 2-person workstation, 36" aisles
- Circulation: Main corridor 4' wide minimum, all doorways 36" clear
- Code compliance: ADA requirements verified, emergency egress marked, occupancy load = 15 persons

Query your local Screenpipe instance to retrieve screen recordings, audio transcriptions, UI element accessibility trees, keyboard/mouse input logs, and productivity analytics. You can search by keywords, filter by content type (audio, OCR, accessibility, input), set time ranges, and extract structured data about your applications, meetings, and work sessions without sending data to external servers.

You can submit architectural design documents, floor plans, and project parameters to receive a comprehensive compliance analysis that cross-references IBC, local amendments, zoning ordinances, and ADA accessibility requirements. Claude identifies specific gaps, cites applicable code sections, explains why each gap matters, and provides concrete remediation strategies—all before formal design review submission when corrections are costly and schedule-impacting.

You can leverage Claude to synthesize regional seismic hazard data from authoritative sources (USGS maps, published studies), interpret probabilistic versus deterministic earthquake scenarios, and analyze how site conditions modify ground motions. Claude helps you justify seismic design parameters to clients and regulators, evaluate liquefaction and earthquake-induced landslide risks, and develop defensible recommendations aligned with ASCE 7 and current guidelines—accelerating report preparation without replacing specialized geotechnical software.

You systematically evaluate your internal developer platform across dimensions like onboarding, deployment, tooling, and documentation to identify quantifiable friction points. Claude analyzes your platform's usability, creates a friction scoring matrix, and generates a prioritized improvement roadmap ranked by team impact and implementation effort. You get a data-driven strategy to reduce developer toil and accelerate delivery.

You can conduct rigorous architectural design reviews that verify compliance with building codes, accessibility standards, energy regulations, and client requirements. The skill produces evidence-based, severity-ranked findings with specific remediation recommendations and regulatory citations, enabling you to identify issues before design phase submission or construction document preparation.

You can quantify seismic vulnerability for existing buildings and new designs by calculating demand-capacity ratios, generating fragility curves, and performing nonlinear pushover analysis. This framework integrates response spectrum analysis with probabilistic seismic hazard evaluation to produce cost-effective retrofit strategies that meet specific performance objectives (Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety, Collapse Prevention) and align with current code standards like ASCE 41 and ASCE 7.

This skill enables you to rapidly produce structural analyses for timber members, including bending, shear, compression, and combined stress calculations. You can determine lateral load capacity for shear walls, design connections, evaluate code compliance against NDS standards, assess serviceability limits, and generate calculation frameworks suitable for permit submission and engineer stamping.

You can accelerate HVAC design workflows by inputting building parameters—envelope characteristics, occupancy data, climate conditions, and existing systems—and receiving calculated heating/cooling loads, equipment sizing recommendations, and zone-by-zone analysis. Claude organizes complex building data into actionable design parameters and specification summaries for client review, permit submission, and professional validation against ASHRAE and ACCA standards.
