daily-report-generator
The daily-report-generator skill automates creation of professional construction site reports by consolidating weather data, worker timesheets, progress information, and field photos into formatted PDF documents. Use this skill when site managers need to distribute daily updates to stakeholders without manually compiling data from multiple sources, reducing typical reporting time from 45 to 60 minutes down to approximately 9 minutes for review and distribution.

# Daily Report Generator for Construction Sites
Automate the creation of comprehensive daily construction reports by aggregating data from multiple sources into professional documentation.
## Business Case
**Problem**: Site managers spend 45-60 minutes daily on:
- Collecting information from foremen
- Checking weather conditions
- Compiling worker counts and hours
- Writing narrative summaries
- Formatting and distributing reports
**Solution**: Automated system that:
- Pulls data from Google Sheets/project database
- Integrates weather API data
- Aggregates worker timesheets
- Generates professional PDF reports
- Distributes to stakeholders automatically
**ROI**: 80% reduction in daily reporting time (45 min → 9 min for review)
