damage-classification

What problem does it solve?

Trail managers struggle to standardize post-fire trail damage assessments, leading to inconsistent prioritization and costly delays. This skill provides a reproducible, auditable method to classify damage into USFS Type I-IV and generate actionable insights for repairs and closures.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated damage typing: Classifies damage points into Type I-IV based on severity to ensure consistent prioritization across trails.
• Infrastructure awareness: Detects critical infrastructure damage (bridges, culverts) and attaches cost and safety implications.
• Hazard zone detection: Aggregates multiple high-severity points to flag hazard zones that require closures or mitigation.
• Data-driven planning: Produces per-trail and per-fire summaries with severity, counts, and recommended actions.
• Use Case: On the Cedar Creek fire, run this skill to obtain a ready-to-use maintenance and closure plan.

Quick Start

Run the damage-classification skill against trail damage fixtures to produce a complete classification report.
