Developer Tool Workflows

Write structured decision memos for carbon project choices — registry selection, methodology selection, measurement architecture tradeoffs (estimation vs. in-situ), buyer/offtake structure, and other consequential project decisions where the tradeoffs need to be documented before locking in. Use whenever the user is weighing a carbon-project-specific decision and wants it written up formally, or says things like "help me think through whether to use X or Y methodology/registry," "document why we chose," or "write up the tradeoffs." Trigger proactively when other skills in this pack (pdd-generator, carbon-project-timeline) flag an unresolved decision blocking progress.

Draft legal agreements specific to carbon credit projects — Emission Reduction Purchase Agreements (ERPAs), landowner/farmer participation agreements, carbon rights transfer language, offtake agreements, and benefit-sharing terms. Use whenever the user wants to draft, review, or structure a carbon project legal agreement, ERPA, landowner contract, offtake deal, or carbon rights document. This produces working drafts for an attorney's review, not a substitute for licensed legal advice — always say so. Trigger on "ERPA," "offtake agreement," "landowner agreement," "carbon rights," or "legal docs for the carbon project.

Build project timelines, milestone trackers, and Gantt-style dependency maps for carbon credit projects, covering the validation, monitoring, verification, and issuance cycle. Use whenever the user wants a carbon project timeline, milestone tracker, registry submission schedule, crediting period roadmap, or wants to map dependencies between PDD completion, validation, first monitoring period, and credit issuance. Trigger on "project timeline," "milestone tracker," "when do we submit," "validation timeline," or "crediting period schedule.

Draft stakeholder consultation documentation, community consent records, benefit-sharing structures, and project governance design for carbon credit projects. Use whenever the user wants to document stakeholder engagement, free prior and informed consent (FPIC), grievance mechanisms, local community consultation, or the governance structure for how project decisions get made and benefits distributed among participants. Trigger on "stakeholder consultation," "community consent," "FPIC," "benefit-sharing," "grievance mechanism," or "project governance" in a carbon project context.

Draft Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) methodology language for carbon projects — monitoring plans, sampling design, QA/QC procedures, sensor/instrumentation architecture, and the estimation-tier vs. in-situ-measurement distinction. Use whenever the user wants to write or refine an MRV plan, monitoring section of a PDD, dMRV (digital MRV) architecture description, sensor specification narrative, or wants to translate raw measurement/hardware specs into registry-acceptable methodology language. Trigger on "MRV," "monitoring plan," "dMRV," "measurement methodology," "sensor architecture for carbon," or "how do we document our measurement system for the registry.

Generate Project Design Documents (PDDs) for carbon credit projects aligned to Verra VCS, Gold Standard, ACR, or CAR registry templates. Use this skill whenever the user wants to draft, scaffold, or assemble a PDD, talks about carbon project documentation, baseline scenarios, additionality, monitoring plans, crediting periods, or registry submissions. Also trigger for "carbon project," "offset project," "removal project," or "dMRV project docs" requests where the deliverable is a registry-facing design document. Push hard to use this skill even if the user just says "help me write up this carbon project" — that almost always means a PDD.
