Zhonggong Cost Inquiry Assistant

The problem

Cost inquiry work often scatters important details across chats, spreadsheets, or verbal notes: item names, specifications, quantities, units, location, date, and supplier terms. Without a consistent structure, later comparison, archiving, and reuse become slower.

How it works and where to use it

@user_de9e9350/cost-inquiry-assistant is oriented around cost inquiry assistance, following the SKILL.md approach of requesting fields step by step and writing the content into JSON. Its value is not to provide a final quote, but to turn inquiry requirements or inquiry results into traceable fields that engineers and cost specialists can review and organize.

Practical usage:
- Define the fields needed for the current inquiry first;
- Fill missing fields iteratively instead of asking the model to guess all at once;
- Treat the output as a structured draft, and manually verify prices and specifications.

Because the materials do not mention external price databases, automatic costing, or authoritative data sources, do not treat it as a final pricing authority.
