Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Pile Capacity Analyzer Skill ## Purpose The Pile Capacity Analyzer Skill determines axial and lateral capacity of deep foundations including driven piles and drilled shafts using FHWA and other established methods. ## Capabilities - Driven pile capacity (alpha, beta methods) - Drilled shaft capacity (FHWA methods) - Pile group efficiency - Lateral pile analysis (p-y curves) - Pile driving analysis (wave equation) - LRFD resistance factors - Uplift capacity - Settlement of pile groups ## Usage Guidelines ### When to Use - Designing deep foundations - Analyzing pile group behavior - Evaluating lateral capacity - Predicting pile driving ### Prerequisites - Soil borings available - Pile type and size selected - Load requirements defined - Installation method determined ### Best Practices - Use appropriate method for soil type - Consider setup and relaxation - Apply LRFD resistance factors - Plan for verification testing ## Process Integration This skill integrates with: - Foundation Design - Bridge Design LRFD ## Configuration ```yaml pile-capacity-analyzer: pile-types: - driven-steel - driven-concrete - drilled-shaft - micropile capacity-methods: - alpha - beta - nordlund - FHWA-dri

What does the pile-capacity-analyzer skill do?
Deep foundation capacity analysis skill for driven piles and drilled shafts
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill pile-capacity-analyzer --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
