Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Settlement Calculator Skill ## Purpose The Settlement Calculator Skill calculates foundation settlements including immediate (elastic) settlement, primary consolidation, and secondary compression using established geotechnical methods. ## Capabilities - Immediate (elastic) settlement - Consolidation settlement (1D theory) - Secondary compression - Time-rate of consolidation - Differential settlement analysis - Tolerable settlement checks - Settlement beneath rigid foundations - Stress distribution calculations ## Usage Guidelines ### When to Use - Estimating foundation settlement - Evaluating differential settlement - Time-rate predictions - Tolerable settlement verification ### Prerequisites - Soil compressibility data available - Foundation loads defined - Groundwater conditions known - Soil stratigraphy established ### Best Practices - Use appropriate stress distribution - Consider soil variability - Account for adjacent structures - Verify with field monitoring ## Process Integration This skill integrates with: - Foundation Design - Geotechnical Site Investigation ## Configuration ```yaml settlement-calculator: settlement-types: - immediate - consolidation - secondary methods

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill settlement-calculator --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.
