# Delay Claim Letter Skill
Delay claims are won and lost on two things: whether notice went out inside the contractual window, and whether the delay can be tied to the critical path with contemporaneous records. This skill drafts the letter that does both — notice-clause citation up front, cause classified on the excusable/compensable matrix, impact told against the schedule rather than the calendar, and quantum reserved rather than guessed. It also tells the team what records to start preserving *today*.
## What This Skill Produces
- A **delay notice or claim letter** ready for letterhead and counsel review
- **Cause classification** on the excusable/compensable matrix, driving what's requested (time, money, or both)
- **Critical-path impact narrative** — affected activities, dates, and knock-on logic
- **Quantum placeholder** with reservation of rights (never a premature number)
- A **records-preservation checklist** for the project team
