    home maintenance calendar lite

    Example session with this skill installed

    I just bought a 20-year-old single-family home in Chicago. It's fall, the gutters are full, and the furnace is original. What should I do before winter?

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the home maintenance calendar

    I have profiled your 20-year-old Chicago home. Since it is fall, we will focus on winterization and addressing your aged furnace.

    Home Profile Summary

    • Location: Chicago, IL (Cold Climate)
    • Home Type: Single-Family (Built ~2006)
    • Key Systems: Original Furnace (20 years old), Gutters, Exterior Faucets.
    • Known Issues: Full gutters, aged HVAC.
    • Assumptions: Standard drainage, no fireplace mentioned.

    Top 3 High-Risk Gaps

    Aged Furnace (20 Years): A standard furnace lasts 15-20 years. Failure costs $5,000+.

    Cheapest first step: Book a precision tune-up ($150) to check the heat exchanger for cracks.
    2.

    Clogged Gutters: Chicago freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams. Repairing roof/fascia rot costs $2,000+.

    Cheapest first step: Clean them immediately before the first freeze.
    3.

    Pipe Freeze Risk: Exterior lines in Chicago will burst if not drained. Restoration costs $3,000+.

    Cheapest first step: Disconnect all hoses and shut off interior valves today.

    Next steps

    • Schedule an HVAC technician for a safety inspection this week.
    • Clear the gutters before the next heavy rain or frost.
    • Purchase a 3-pack of high-efficiency air filters.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Homeowners often defer maintenance because a full year of tasks feels overwhelming. They end up facing emergency repairs costing thousands for issues that a twenty dollar filter could have prevented.

    What it does

    • Profiles your home in five minutes to identify key systems like HVAC, sump pumps, and roofing.
    • Generates a seasonal checklist with cost tiers, DIY-vs-pro tags, and the specific disaster each task prevents.
    • Identifies the three highest-risk gaps based on system age and current home issues.
    • Provides cost-of-failure estimates to help prioritize urgent preventative actions.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General AI prompts often produce generic, year-round lists that lack urgency. This skill enforces a seasonal focus and attaches specific financial consequences to every task, making the ROI of maintenance immediately clear.

    Use cases

    • New homeowners needing an immediate triage list of urgent tasks.
    • Identifying preventative measures after a major repair to stop the next failure.
    • Seasonal prep for winter or summer based on specific climate zones.

    Known limitations

    Does not provide step-by-step DIY tutorials, 12-month schedules, or automated monthly reminders. Limited to one season per request.
