What can Architecture Studio do for an architecture firm?▼

It covers NYC property due diligence, zoning envelope analysis, occupancy loads, workplace programming, EPD and embodied-carbon research, FF&E schedules, CSI outline specs, presentations, and project records like meeting minutes, tasks, and time logs.

Does it work with both Claude Code and Codex?▼

Yes. Every skill runs on both hosts — use `/as:skill-name` on Claude Code and `$skill-name` on Codex; Claude Code additionally loads 7 native agents, rules, and hooks.

Where does my project data get stored?▼

Everything stays local as plain Markdown and CSV files in your own studio and project folders; nothing is sent to or stored with ALPA.

Can I use it without coding experience?▼

Yes. The bundled `$learn` course teaches architects the basics hands-on, and everyday use is plain-English requests like an address or a product brief.
