warranty-tracker
The warranty-tracker skill provides a centralized system for managing construction project warranties by monitoring expiration dates, storing manufacturer documentation, and tracking warranty claims across building systems. Use this skill to prevent financial losses from expired warranties, maintain compliance with project handover requirements, organize scattered warranty records, and receive automatic alerts for warranties expiring within ninety days.

# Warranty Tracker
## Business Case
### Problem Statement
Warranty management is often neglected:
- Missing warranty documentation
- Expired warranties untracked
- Difficult to file claims
- Scattered across multiple files
### Solution
Centralized warranty tracking system that monitors expiration dates, stores documentation, and manages claims.
### Business Value
- **Cost savings** - File claims before expiration
- **Organization** - Central warranty repository
- **Compliance** - Meet handover requirements
- **Proactive** - Automatic expiration alerts
