The most expensive number in a renovation quote is usually one that isn't there: the allowance that runs out, the exclusion that becomes a change order, the "TBD" that becomes time-and-materials. This skill decodes the quote the way a construction manager reads a bid — hunting the gaps between what's written and what the finished job requires — and turns three incomparable bids into one comparable question set. It reads documents; it doesn't judge workmanship.
Home Contractor Quote Decoder 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/home-contractor-quote-decoder/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when someone asks 'is this contractor quote fair', 'decode this renovation bid', 'what should be in a contractor contract', or 'why do these three bids differ so much'. Produces a section-by-section decode, the allowance and exclusion audit, payment-schedule risk analysis, and the questions that make bids comparable.
The Home Contractor Quote Decoder 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 174,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
