name: itp-holdpoint-check description: Build or check a construction ITP hold-witness-review pack against spec, drawings, and the planned activity including pre-pour and inspection records. Use when the user says ITP, hold point, witness point, inspection test plan, pre-pour, pre-cover, inspection checklist, or what records before we pour. metadata: type: workflow version: "1.0" pack: construction-office-skills domain: construction-quality

ITP / hold-point check

Quality gate before cover-up. The skill produces a checklist the inspector can stand on, not a quality essay.

Inputs required

• Activity (e.g. ground slab pour, membrane, first-fix hydraulic, fire-stopping)
• Spec section + drawing refs
• Existing ITP if any
• Who holds authority (builder QA / client / certifier / superintendent)
• Planned date/time of the activity
• Records already available (tickets, test results, photos, set-out)

Point types (use these words only)

• H — Hold — do not proceed until signed
• W — Witness — invite the party; may proceed if they decline in writing
• R — Review — document check, not necessarily on site
• S — Surveillance — random / ongoing

If the project ITP uses different letters, copy the project letters and map them once at the top.

Refuse list

• Do not invent spec clauses or acceptance criteria. Quote or mark UNKNOWN.
• Do not waive a hold point.
• Do not say "looks fine". Either the record exists or it is OPEN.
• Do not mix trades in one ITP unless the user supplied a combined pack.
• Do not sign.

Method

1. Name the activity and the cover-up risk (what becomes inaccessible).
2. Build rows in process order — materials → set-out → prep → inspection → test → cover → as-built.
3. Each row needs — what / criteria / record / point type / who signs / status.
4. Status = CLOSED only if the user provided the record. Otherwise OPEN or N/A.
5. List blockers separately (missing ticket, expired cert, no reo inspection booked).
6. If no project ITP exists, draft a starter ITP and label it DRAFT — not approved.

Load references/typical-hold-points.md only when the user has no ITP and needs a starter list. Prefer the project ITP always.

Output

Follow assets/itp-checklist.md.

HOLD POINT — not approved / not signed

Optional VET map

Only if asked. Quality planning (ITP), assurance (hold points), control (records). No competency claim.

Done when

• Every row has point type + record type + signer role.
• OPEN items are listed as blockers.
• No invented criteria.
