Skill 1: Project Controls

Command: /cps-construction:project-controls

Purpose

Set up cost + schedule controls (EVM, S-curves, drift analysis).

Inputs required

client:
  name: "Client Name"
  industry: "Industry"
context:
  scope: "in-scope description"
  constraints: ["constraint 1", "constraint 2"]
references:
  - "Prior deliverable / document name"
  - "External benchmark / source"

Methodology

1. Frame. Translate client request into a structured problem statement and hypotheses.
2. Gather. Pull data from engagement brain, client documents, and external sources.
3. Analyze. Apply the Project Controls method using domain frameworks (see Frameworks section of the agent).
4. Synthesize. Produce primary deliverable with recommendations, evidence, and risks.
5. Validate. Run /cps:verify-quality and pass through Project controls have baseline + actual + EAC + variance per work package.

Output shape

A CPS-branded Project Controls deliverable in 05_Deliverables_Final/. Pyramid-Principle structured, sourced, and reviewed.

Quality checklist

• Project controls have baseline + actual + EAC + variance per work package
• BIM assessment cites ISO 19650 levels explicitly
• Schedule risk analysis uses Monte Carlo with named distributions
