# Trade Workflow Gap Fillers

Portable Markdown for the 25 Business Helper AI target audiences: **25 industry skills + 5 shared skills**, each with an editable record template. Original drafts informed by public research, ready to configure and pilot; not copied vendor forms or technical certification.

## Start here

1. Fill the [business setup sheet](SETUP.md).
2. Choose your industry below and load its SKILL.md and TEMPLATES.md. In a plain chat, attach or paste the selected files.
3. Supply one job and its real source records; ask the LLM for a working record and missing evidence.
4. Review before use. Consider software only when a specific operational need justifies it.

## What the files do

Organize supplied scope, observations, quantities, sources, approvals, exceptions and handoffs. Routing engines, CAD/takeoff software, technical databases and field-service applications remain separate optional tools. Missing product-specific methods, physical tests, local requirements and qualified decisions stay visible.
