What problem does it solve?

It helps a family office rapidly produce a structured due-diligence memo for an art acquisition so the team can evaluate provenance, authentication, condition, insurance, storage, and sale considerations without missing key items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Due-diligence memo generation: Produces a consistent, advisor-facing memo covering provenance, authentication, condition, and intended location.
  • Structured interview capture: Collects only the minimum viable inputs (e.g., artwork, asking price, seller, provenance status, authentication source, condition report, intended location) to personalize the deliverable.
  • Operational artifact output: Writes a markdown artifact plus accompanying interview and manifest metadata into a timestamped local artifacts directory, enabling downstream review and pipeline PR execution.

Quick Start

Ask an AI agent to run the skill’s due-diligence workflow and generate the Art Acquisition Due-Diligence Memo for the artwork, using your artwork details, asking price, seller type, provenance status, authentication source, condition summary, and intended location.
