# Deal Intake You are the deal intake coordinator. When a user brings in a new deal or wants to continue working on an existing one, you orchestrate the right specialist skills in sequence. ## When to Activate - User mentions a new deal, property, or opportunity - User wants to evaluate, screen, underwrite, or structure a deal - User has an OM, broker email, or listing to analyze - User says "new deal", "deal intake", "evaluate this property" ## Process ### Step 1: Check for Existing Workspace Read `~/.cre-skills/workspaces/` for any active deal workspace matching the property or deal name. If found, offer to resume. ### Step 2: Gather Deal Context Collect minimum required inputs: - Property type - Location (city/state/submarket) - Asking price or guidance - Unit count or SF - Any additional materials (OM, rent roll, broker email) ### Step 3: Route to Specialist Skills Based on the stage and available information, invoke skills in order: 1. `/deal-quick-screen` -- fast KEEP/KILL verdict 2. If KEEP: `/om-reverse-pricing` -- reverse-engineer pricing 3. `/rent-roll-analyzer` -- if rent roll provided 4. `/acquisition-underwriting-engine` -- full underwriting 5. `/sensitivity-stress-test` -- stress the assumptions 6. `/ic-memo-generator` -- produce the IC memo At each stage, save workspace state and present the next-action footer. ### Step 4: Save Workspace State After each specialist skill completes, update the workspace JSON at `~/.cre-skills/workspaces/<deal-id>.json` with results, decisions, and next actions. ## Output Format End every response with the required next-action footer: ``` --- ## Decision Summary [One-sentence verdict from the latest stage] ## Assumptions Used - [List key assumptions] ## Missing Inputs - [List what's still needed] ## Recommended Next Actions 1. [Next skill to invoke with rationale] 2. [Alternative path if applicable] 3. [Information to gather before next step] ```

Pre-Close Deal Tracking
Per-deal closing discipline. Tracks PSA / financing key-date countdown (LOI expiry, PSA expiry, DD period end, financing contingency, close target, tax lookback), open contingencies and their evidence of removal, escrow funding status, and lender deliverable status. Produces a weekly running scorecard per deal (daily for closing-week deals), triggers escalations as key dates approach, and composes a closing-week dashboard covering every deal within the close_window_days overlay band.
Implementation Intake And Leader Sign-Off Builder
Evidence-driven implementation intake workflow for residential multifamily and related CRE operating environments. Guides sponsors, implementation leads, data teams, operations leaders, and reporting owners through source inventory, access readiness, export evidence, field-level semantics, crosswalk ownership, reporting calendar, approvals, blockers, assumptions, and final leader sign-off. Produces implementation packets that are usable by both executives and build teams, while refusing silent assumption upgrades and refusing secret storage.
Capital Project Intake and Prioritization
Intake for capital project ideas from any source (PM, regional, AM, engineering, capex plan cycle). Scores each project against the overlay's priority rubric (life safety, deferred maintenance, renovation yield, risk mitigation, regulatory). Produces the prioritized backlog and flags gated decisions.
deal-attribution-tracker
Tracks deal-level performance attribution and GP carry across a multi-deal fund: realized vs unrealized returns, carry waterfall across full fund, clawback exposure, deal team attribution, and GP co-invest return comparison.
workout-playbook
Produces a lender-side workout and restructuring playbook for distressed CRE loans. Maps all resolution paths (forbearance, A/B note split, DPO, deed-in-lieu, foreclosure, note sale), models NPV of each, assesses borrower leverage, and recommends optimal strategy with timeline.
Work Order Triage
Classifies work order urgency from free-text descriptions, assigns priority (P1-P4) with SLA deadlines, estimates cost, checks lease responsibility, and routes to the correct approval path.
warehouse-to-exhibit-mapper
Maps validated, warehouse-ready tabular datasets into deck-ready EXHIBIT specifications and slide inputs. Selects table vs. chart per exhibit, names axes and series, maps source dataset columns to exhibit fields, binds each exhibit to a target slide, and carries provenance THROUGH so every exhibit cell keeps its source_ref and classification. Triggers on 'map this to exhibits', 'turn the dataset into slides', 'build the exhibit specs', or when a validated dataset must become charts and tables for a committee deck. It specifies exhibits; it does not render pixels or compose the full deck.
vendor-invoice-validator
Validates vendor invoices against contract terms, scope of work, and market rates. Checks arithmetic, rate compliance, scope authorization, duplicate detection, GL coding, and NTE/cap limits. Assigns APPROVED, APPROVED WITH FLAGS, or HOLD FOR REVIEW verdict.
variance-narrative-generator
Generates ownership-ready variance narratives from budget-vs-actual reports. Screens for materiality, classifies variances as timing/permanent/one-time/trend, projects full-year NOI impact, and drafts investor-quality explanations.
transfer-document-preparer
Prepare entity transfer documents, closing document packages, and assignment agreements for CRE acquisitions. Branches by entity type (LLC, LP, DST, UPREIT, C-Corp, S-Corp, trust), ownership chain depth, 1031 exchange timing constraints, state-specific recording and transfer tax requirements, and FIRPTA withholding obligations. Triggers on 'transfer docs', 'deed preparation', 'entity authorization', 'closing documents', 'assignment of leases', 'FIRPTA', '1031 QI assignment', 'conveyance document', or when given PSA closing conditions, entity formation documents, or ownership chain diagrams.
title-commitment-reviewer
Analyze ALTA title commitments, surveys, and Schedule B exceptions for CRE acquisitions. Identifies title defects, chain breaks, lien conflicts, and cure requirements. Triggers on 'title commitment', 'Schedule B exceptions', 'title review', 'title exceptions', 'encumbrances', 'survey cross-reference', 'title chain', 'mechanic's lien', 'title cure', or when given a title commitment document, survey, or lien search results.
term-sheet-builder
Draft and negotiate CRE financing term sheets from lender quotes. Branch by loan type (agency, CMBS, bank balance sheet, bridge, construction, mezzanine), borrower entity, and deal strategy. Interrogate rate preference, hold period, recourse tolerance, and stack complexity before drafting. Triggers on 'draft term sheet', 'lender quote', 'rate lock', 'negotiate terms', 'loan terms', 'prepayment', 'IO period', 'spread', 'carve-outs', or when user provides a lender quote for review.
