SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Trail managers struggle to standardize post-fire trail damage assessments, leading to inconsistent prioritization and costly delays. This skill provides a reproducible, auditable method to classify damage into USFS Type I-IV and generate actionable insights for repairs and closures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated damage typing: Classifies damage points into Type I-IV based on severity to ensure consistent prioritization across trails.
  • Infrastructure awareness: Detects critical infrastructure damage (bridges, culverts) and attaches cost and safety implications.
  • Hazard zone detection: Aggregates multiple high-severity points to flag hazard zones that require closures or mitigation.
  • Data-driven planning: Produces per-trail and per-fire summaries with severity, counts, and recommended actions.
  • Use Case: On the Cedar Creek fire, run this skill to obtain a ready-to-use maintenance and closure plan.

Quick Start

Run the damage-classification skill against trail damage fixtures to produce a complete classification report.

Frequently Asked Questions about damage-classification

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I classify trail damage severity into USFS Type I-IV categories after a wildfire?▼

To classify trail damage into USFS Type I-IV categories, provide your fire_id, trail_id, and damage_points to generate a structured severity report. This process standardizes post-fire trail assessments by applying a consistent damage type matrix.

What is the best way to standardize post-fire trail assessments for consistent repair prioritization?▼

Standardizing post-fire trail assessments requires classifying damage points into USFS Type I-IV severity levels to ensure consistent prioritization. This approach produces per-trail summaries with severity counts, hazard zones, and recommended actions.

How do I detect hazard zones and infrastructure damage like culverts on affected trails?▼

Detecting hazard zones involves aggregating multiple high-severity trail damage points to flag areas requiring closures. The classification also identifies critical infrastructure damage to bridges and culverts, attaching cost and safety implications.

Can I generate a trail closure plan from raw post-fire damage points data?▼

Yes, you can generate a ready-to-use closure plan by processing raw damage points with a fire_id and optional trail_id. The output aggregates high-severity points into hazard zones and provides recommended maintenance actions.

What inputs do I need to run a USFS trail damage classification report?▼

Running a USFS trail damage classification report requires a fire_id, an optional trail_id, and a set of damage_points. These inputs feed into a classification script that outputs per-fire summaries with severity counts and recommended actions.
