## Description

Headcount and delivery-capacity planning, effective capacity from raw headcount, hire/contract/defer scenarios, and capacity-vs-commitment gap reports. Use when planning a quarter, sizing a hiring ask, or testing whether a roadmap fits.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Capacity Planner

Turns headcount into hours you can actually commit. Most capacity plans fail the
same way: they count people instead of delivered hours, ignore ramp, and size
supply to fit the roadmap rather than the other way round. This skill computes
effective capacity independently, matches it against risk-adjusted demand, and
publishes the cut line.

## When to use this skill

- **Quarterly planning**, deciding what the team can commit to for the next 90 days
- **Testing a roadmap**, a stakeholder has a list and wants to know if it fits
- **Building a hiring ask**, quantifying a structural gap in hours and dollars
- **Hire vs contract vs defer**, choosing how to close a capacity shortfall
- **Mid-quarter replan**, the burn rate diverged and commitments need renegotiating
- **Onboarding impact**, modelling what three new hires actually deliver this quarter

## Inputs the skill expects

- Team roster: name, discipline, seniority, FTE, tenure in months
- Known absence: booked PTO days, on-call rotation weeks per person
- Overhead estimates: meeting load and non-delivery overhead as a percentage
- Working days and hours per day for the period
- Candidate commitments with discipline, hour estimate, confidence band, and priority
- For scenario work: demand curve per quarter, salary/contractor rates, start dates

## Clarify First

Before generating, settle the inputs below. When one is missing or vague and would change the result, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.
