data-driven-design SKILL.md skillB

data-driven-design from marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers/data-driven-design@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

GIS integration, sensor data, occupancy analytics, space syntax analysis, urban data analytics, climate data processing, and API data sources for evidence-based AEC computational design.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Data-Driven Design

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on integrating quantitative data into every stage of the architectural and urban design process. It covers geospatial data, environmental sensing, occupancy analytics, spatial network analysis, climate processing, urban datasets, and the APIs that serve them. The goal is to replace intuition-only design with evidence-based reasoning while preserving creative agency.

## 1. Data-Driven Design Philosophy

### 1.1 Evidence-Based vs. Intuition-Based Design

Traditional design relies heavily on precedent, aesthetic judgment, and professional intuition. These are valuable but unverifiable. Evidence-based design augments intuition with measurable inputs:

| Dimension | Intuition-Based | Evidence-Based |
|---|---|---|
| Site analysis | Walkthrough, photos | GIS layers, sensor grids, satellite imagery |
| Program sizing | Rules of thumb | Occupancy analytics, utilization studies |
| Circulation | Designer judgment | Space syntax integration/choice values |
| Orientation | Sun path intuition | EPW-parsed radiation/temperature analysis |
| Massing | Formal exploration | Daylight/energy simulation feedback loops |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers/data-driven-design@sha256:3505192cd70a22bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
