What it does

Cre Development is an agent skill from ahacker-1/cre-agent-skills. CRE Development and Construction suite - 8 specialist skills for U.S. site/entitlement screening, budget and yield-on-cost, construction loan sizing, GC contracts, draw review, schedule risk, lease-up pro forma, and IC memo writing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files (for example `README.md`, `knowledge/construction-contracts-and-draw-controls.md` and `knowledge/construction-lending-criteria.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Commercial real estate AI agent skills for CRE underwriting, due diligence, financing, brokerage, legal and closing workflows - standalone prompts for Claude Code, ChatGPT… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/cre-development”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the user's request to determine which development skill is needed.
  2. Load the full skill file, for example: Read skills/construction-loan-sizing-and-structure.md.
  3. Load relevant knowledge files when the skill asks for them.
  4. Follow the Strategy steps exactly.
  5. Produce output in the specified format.
  6. Run Quality Checks before delivering results.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a9a4e29. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • theaiconsultingnetwork.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cre Development loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 651 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
