Install Drawing Quantity Extract
Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects --skill drawing-quantity-extractThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads drawing-quantity-extract when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the drawing-quantity-extract skill”. In Codex, type $drawing-quantity-extract.
/as:drawing-quantity-extract — Count drawing instances
Before acting, read the host contract and
declaration (skill:drawing-quantity-extract), using only referenced profiles
from the catalog. Requirements do not grant access.
Use the host adapter and available native tools or ordinary task-specific code. Operation names identify semantic procedures, not installed functions. No Arch Studio runner, package installation or executable reconstruction is required. Existing exact authorization persists; ask only for material missing information or permission.
Input: exact supplied drawing files/revisions, building/floor/phase scope and requested tags/types. Output: unadopted instance ledger, scoped counts and coverage/exclusion evidence. No record owner is changed. Read owning instructions for project work; one-off files do not require initialization.
- Verify actual source access. Freeze document hashes and physical page list; record printed sheet IDs separately. Keep drawing types/revisions distinct. Missing access calls a real host grant or produces a precise handoff; never substitute another workspace.
- Read native evidence procedures. Extract text and
coordinates using the native
pdf_evidence.extractprocedure; use host OCR/visual inspection for image-only labels. Save page-sized checkpoints. A legend index is local to its drawing, not a global type ID. - Build one ledger row per candidate label/symbol at its document/page/bounding box. Classify each as instance, legend, note or unresolved. Count repeated identical tags at distinct positions; inspect duplicate text/OCR layers and overlapping boxes before excluding any. Preserve exclusions and reasons. Associate rooms only using visible boundaries or explicit schedule evidence, not nearest-label proximity.
- Inspect each scoped page against the ledger. Reconcile revision callouts and same-page schedules; never count note text as furniture or silently relabel instances because a revision note proposes it. Keep observed label counts and any evidenced revised allocation distinct. If methods disagree, report unresolved counts and the source regions; an approximate number is not verified quantity.
- Apply
drawing_quantities.summarizewith native computation under the complete evidence procedure. It counts supplied classified instances only. Retain the actual result plus the host's per-page coverage and visual evidence; neither a successful command nor unique-tag count proves full extraction. - Return counts by exact tag and scope, source locators, excluded/unresolved instances and pages not
inspected. Save only requested derived outputs, fresh-read them and preserve originals. Route
comparison with inventories or other drawings to
/as:schedule-quantity-reconcile; route adopted record changes to/as:master-schedule, under its authorization. Never certify procurement totals.
Current document placement
Save only authorized derived outputs and verify their actual content, source hashes and complete requested scope. Inline answers and one-off files need no project setup or adoption. For a requested registered project report, resolve confirmed coordinates using the receive-owned native documents.resolve/register semantics in the workspace model, including its complete document/register mutation sequence. Find existing records with documents.query; never guess a folder. This conditional handoff does not authorize schedule or library changes.
Tips for Drawing Quantity Extract
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
Questions about Drawing Quantity Extract
What does the Drawing Quantity Extract skill do?
Extract countable FF&E or luminaire instances from supplied drawings with position-level evidence. Use for plan quantities or symbol counts; not area takeoffs, product specs or cross-source reconciliation.
How do I install Drawing Quantity Extract?
Run "npx skills add AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects --skill drawing-quantity-extract" in your project. The skills CLI installs it for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ other agents. In Claude on the web, upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Customize > Skills.
Does Drawing Quantity Extract work in Cursor and Codex?
Yes. Drawing Quantity Extract uses the open SKILL.md format, so it works in Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents that support agent skills.
Is Drawing Quantity Extract free?
Drawing Quantity Extract is open source on GitHub under the MIT license. It is free to install; check the license before commercial use.
