# Change Order Writer Skill

A change order that just says "extra work — $48,500" gets cut in half in review. A defensible one answers three questions before they're asked: *why am I entitled* (which contract clause, triggered by what event), *what exactly changed* (scope delta from the contract baseline), and *what does it really cost* (built-up pricing plus time). This skill drafts change orders that survive an owner's rep audit — and preserves rights on the impacts you can't price yet.

## What This Skill Produces

- A complete **change order request (COR/PCO)** ready for letterhead
- **Entitlement narrative** citing the contract clause and the triggering event/document
- **Scope delta** — contract baseline vs. changed condition, with document references
- **Pricing breakdown**: labour, material, equipment, subcontractor cost, then OH&P per the contract markup provisions
- **Schedule impact statement** and a **reservation of rights** for cumulative/unquantified impacts
