# Engineering Report Generator Skill

## Purpose

The Engineering Report Generator Skill creates standard engineering reports including geotechnical, structural, and traffic reports with calculation documentation.

## Capabilities

- Standard report templates (geotechnical, structural, traffic)
- Calculation sheet formatting
- Drawing sheet generation
- Table and figure numbering
- Reference management
- PE seal block placement
- Executive summary generation
- Appendix organization

## Usage Guidelines

- References compiled
- Review comments addressed

### Best Practices
- Follow template standards
- Maintain consistent formatting
- Include required content
- Quality check before issue

## Process Integration

This skill integrates with:
- All processes (documentation output)

## Configuration

```yaml
engineering-report-generator:
  report-types:
    - geotechnical

Overview

This skill generates complete engineering reports and calculation sheets for geotechnical, structural, traffic, and general design projects. It assembles standard templates, formats calculation documentation, and organizes appendices and figures into deliverable packages. Outputs are ready for review in DOCX, PDF, or HTML with PE seal block placement and reference management.

How this skill works

The skill consumes technical content, figures, tables, and references then maps them into configured report templates. It formats calculation sheets, numbers tables and figures, places PE seal blocks, and generates executive summaries and appendices. Final artifacts are exported into DOCX, PDF, or HTML with drawing sheets and calculation packages organized for distribution.

When to use it

  • Preparing formal technical deliverables for clients or regulators
  • Documenting engineering calculations and design justifications
  • Assembling drawing sheets and calculation packages for submittal
  • Creating executive summaries and appendices for project reports
  • Converting completed technical content into consistent, review-ready files

Best practices

  • Complete technical content, figures, and references before generation
  • Follow the project or firm template standards for sections and formatting
  • Verify units, assumptions, and calculation steps before export
  • Perform a quality check on numbering, cross-references, and figures
  • Keep review comments addressed in source content to avoid rework

Example use cases

  • Generate a geotechnical report with site investigation results, findings, and recommendations
  • Produce structural calculation sheets and drawing sets for permit submission
  • Assemble a traffic analysis report with figures, tables, and executive summary
  • Create a consolidated deliverable package combining report, calculations, and appendices
  • Export a design report to DOCX and PDF with correctly placed PE seal and references

FAQ
