A contractor dispute is stressful because your home and your money are both on the line. The winning approach isn't a shouting match — it's leverage: a clear record of the agreement and the problems, a professional demand with a deadline, careful use of any unpaid balance, and knowing the escalation routes. This lays that out so you push for a fix without torching your position.
Contractor Dispute is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/contractor-dispute/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to deal with a contractor dispute, my contractor did bad work / won't finish / overcharged, or how to get a builder to fix their work. Produces a read on your position (contract, payments, evidence), a firm-but-professional communication and demand path, documentation and payment-leverage guidance, and escalation options (mediation, licensing board, chargeback, small claims) — flagging that it's not legal advice.
The Contractor Dispute Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 177,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
