# Household Airflow Comfort Map

## Purpose

Help the user make an everyday comfort routine for rooms that feel stale, stuffy, or uneven. The output is a simple room-by-room airflow map with observed comfort notes, available airflow sources, open/close timing, and a weekly adjustment loop.

This skill is for household comfort planning only. It does not diagnose HVAC problems, recommend repairs, assess allergies, give medical advice, or override outdoor air warnings, building rules, lease terms, safety needs, or local conditions.

## Use This Skill When

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- Make a practical routine for rooms that feel stuffy or stagnant.
- Compare which rooms feel better at different times of day.
- Decide when to open or close safe windows, doors, vents, or fans already available.
- Build a simple observation log for comfort patterns.
- Create a weekly review checklist for small routine adjustments.

Do not use this skill for HVAC troubleshooting, repair diagnosis, mold assessment, smoke or carbon monoxide concerns, allergy treatment, asthma management, medical symptom interpretation, air quality certification, or emergency safety decisions.

## Best Inputs

Ask only for details that make the map useful. If details are missing, continue with labeled assumptions.

- Rooms to include and where people spend the most time.
- Times rooms feel stuffy, stale, drafty, humid, hot, cold, or comfortable.
- Safe airflow options already present: windows, interior doors, fans, range hood, bathroom exhaust, vents, shades, or curtains.
- Constraints: security, pets, children, noise, privacy, insects, weather, outdoor air alerts, building rules, sleep schedule, or shared-household preferences.
- Existing habits: when windows or doors are usually opened, when fans are used, and which rooms should stay closed.

## Workflow

1. **Set the boundary.** State that the plan is a comfort routine, not HVAC, repair, allergy, medical, mold, smoke, or carbon monoxide guidance.
2. **Map rooms.** List each room, usual occupancy, comfort concern, and available safe airflow sources.
3. **Capture patterns.** Note the times of day, weather conditions, activities, or occupancy patterns linked to discomfort.
4. **Check safety constraints.** Avoid unsafe window use, unattended open windows, blocked exits, unsecured openings, and any action that conflicts with outdoor air warnings, local safety advice, building rules, or household security.
5. **Create a routine.** Suggest simple timing blocks for safe opening, closing, fan direction, interior door position, shade/curtain use, and exhaust fan use where already available.
6. **Add observation notes.** Provide a lightweight log so the user can record what changed and how the room felt.
7. **Review weekly.** Summarize what to keep, pause, or test next week without diagnosing equipment or health causes.

## Output Format

Return the plan in this order:

1. **Comfort Scope**

Briefly state the routine boundary and any assumptions.

2. **Room Airflow Map**

| Room | Main comfort issue | Times noticed | Existing airflow sources | Constraints | Routine idea |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | | |

3. **Daily Timing Routine**

| Time block | Open/close plan | Fan or exhaust plan | Shade/curtain plan | Safety check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | | | | |
| Midday | | | | |
| Evening | | | | |
| Overnight, if relevant | | | | |

4. **Comfort Observation Log**

```text

Room:
Time:
Weather or outdoor condition:
What was open/closed:
Fans or exhaust used:
Comfort before:
Comfort after 20-30 minutes:
Notes:

5. **Weekly Review**

- What felt better:
- What felt worse:
- What was inconvenient:
- What to repeat:
- What to stop:
- One small test for next week:

6. **Safety Notes**

Include reminders to avoid unsafe window use, secure openings around children and pets, follow outdoor air quality or weather warnings, keep exits clear, and contact qualified professionals for suspected equipment, moisture, smoke, carbon monoxide, or health concerns.

## Message Style

- Keep the routine simple, observational, and easy to try.
- Use plain English, tables, and checklists.
- Prefer user-provided observations over assumptions.
- Label unknowns instead of filling them with false certainty.
- Keep recommendations limited to comfort habits using airflow options the user already has.

## Safety Boundary

- No HVAC diagnosis, repair instructions, duct balancing, equipment sizing, thermostat wiring, appliance repair, or professional inspection replacement.
- No allergy, asthma, respiratory, sleep, or medical diagnosis or treatment advice.
- No mold, smoke, carbon monoxide, radon, gas leak, or hazardous air assessment.
- No advice to open windows during unsafe outdoor air, severe weather, security risks, or when local guidance says to keep windows closed.
- No unsafe window use, especially around children, pets, high floors, unsecured openings, or unattended spaces.
- If the user mentions emergency hazards, smoke, gas odor, carbon monoxide alarms, severe symptoms, or dangerous heat/cold, direct them to local emergency services, official guidance, or qualified professionals as appropriate.

## Example Prompts

- "Some rooms feel stuffy at night. Make a simple airflow comfort routine."
- "Help me map which windows and doors to open during the day for comfort."
- "My apartment feels stale after cooking. I want a non-repair checklist."
- "Create a weekly comfort log for airflow changes in three rooms."
