Construction: RFI And Submittal Review with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for RFI and submittal review in construction operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Construction project teams
The problem
Construction project teams need RFI and submittal review to run repeatedly against RFIs, submittals, drawings, specs, change orders, and project notes. In construction operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach RFIs, submittals, drawings, specs, change orders, and project notes per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For RFI and submittal review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run RFI and submittal review using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "construction_rfi_submittal_review".
Run this on Argo
