SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Estimating software project cost and effort is error-prone when done from gut feeling, leading to underpriced quotes and blown schedules. This Skill runs a disciplined SOP that grounds every estimate in historical actuals, market research, and a structured WBS before producing a client-ready quotation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Historical Calibration: Queries the rsun-citation MCP for past project metrics (variance percentages, similar cases, reusable modules) and adjusts work hours and buffer multipliers accordingly. - WBS & Cost Calculation: Breaks requirements into modules and work packages sized S/M/L/XL, computes person-months, internal cost, margin multiplier, tax, and a 30/40/40 payment schedule. - Deliverable Generation: Creates a Google Sheets estimate from a Drive template and outputs a copy-paste-ready pricing summary. - Use Case: A client asks for a CRM system quote. The Skill analyzes requirements, pulls variance stats showing past CRM projects ran 18% over, applies the correction, builds the WBS, and delivers an itemized quotation sheet. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to estimate and quote a described project, for example: help me estimate and produce a quotation for a booking system with user accounts and payment integration.

Frequently Asked Questions about rsun-estimate

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate software project cost and effort?

Break requirements into modules and WBS work packages sized S through XL, assign hours per complexity level, apply a buffer multiplier, then convert total hours to person-months at 160 hours each. Multiply internal cost by a margin factor and add tax for the client quote.

How to improve estimate accuracy using historical project data?

Query past project metrics before estimating: compute average variance between estimated and actual hours for similar project types, then adjust new estimates by that percentage. With fewer than three samples, use a conservative buffer of 1.3 instead of the standard 1.2.

What buffer multiplier should I use for high-risk work packages?

Use 1.2 for standard S and M tasks, 1.3 for complex L-level integrations, and 1.5 for XL items like architecture design or AI modules. If historical variance exceeds 20 percent in either direction, adjust hours and buffers accordingly.

What happens if the rsun-citation MCP server is unavailable?

The Skill notifies the user that the MCP server is unreachable and falls back to manually reading the local citation-index.json knowledge file. The historical calibration step is mandatory and cannot be skipped.

Can the estimate be delivered as a Google Sheets quotation?

Yes. The Skill locates the estimate template in Google Drive, creates a new Sheets file named with client, project, and date, fills in the WBS line items, and also returns a plain-text pricing summary with a 30/40/40 payment schedule.
