Quick Start

Get your first estimate in 2 minutes.

Single Task

Just ask:

Estimate: "Add Stripe payment integration to our checkout flow"

The skill will:

1. Ask 4 quick questions (or fewer if it can infer from context)
2. Auto-assign complexity and task type
3. Return a one-line summary, PERT expected value, and full breakdown

Batch Estimation

Paste a list:

Estimate these tasks:
1. Add dark mode toggle
2. Migrate database from MySQL to PostgreSQL
3. Build Slack notification service
4. Implement CSV export for reports
5. Set up end-to-end test suite

The skill returns a summary table with all tasks, a rollup block, and warnings.
