How to Summarize Inspection Report Findings With Claude

Preparation-only workflow using reviewed files and explicit outputs. Uploading Markdown is reference context, not a native skill installation or permission to act.

Sort fictional inspection findings into safety, major and maintenance categories with counts that reconcile.

1. Read the workflow and source

Open the complete free skill and authored Markdown download, its inputs and review gates. Read Claude project documentation for current file, plan and privacy limits. Account access is not tested here.

2. Start with approved reference files

Create a separate conversation or project for this one job. Upload the public Markdown as reference if your account supports files. This is not a plugin installation. Do not mix clients or place credentials and private records into a reusable setup instruction.

3. Run the fictional acceptance test

Fictional report has 23 findings with a correct split of 5 safety, 9 major and 9 maintenance. A draft summary lists only 4 safety items and misses the ungrounded outlet in the electrical section. Expected result: flag the missing safety item and restore the 5-9-9 split.

4. Use a narrow request

Use the attached Inspection Report Summary Buyer Note as reference. Summarize only these fictional findings. Return category counts and each safety item in the inspector's wording. Do not advise on the purchase decision.

5. Review before real data

Check each source row, unchanged original value, missing fact and arithmetic. A successful fictional result is a readiness check, not proof of real-account compatibility. Only then use authorized minimum-necessary real exports, confirm retention/access and ask the responsible owner to review the result.

Where this guide stops

No sending, sharing, ledger/CRM changes, account sign-in or spending is authorized by this guide. A separate request and the required approval govern real actions. Keep an evidence copy of the input version and reviewed output.
