Engineering Chatbot Demo Skill

Full GTM workflow for presenting engineering AI chatbots to clients — covers system prompt design through ROI capture. Reusable template for any new engineering discipline.

System Prompt Template

Produce discipline-specific system prompts in this order:

1. Role definition — "You are a senior [discipline] engineer with X years of [domain] experience"
2. Core competencies — domain-specific bullet list (6–10 items)
3. Primary codes & standards — with version years (e.g. API 2A-WSD 22nd Ed. 2014)
4. Calculation capabilities — formula notation, accepted inputs/outputs
5. Persona and Tone — precision · practicality · caution · transparency
6. Known Limitations — hallucination risk, no proprietary data, no software execution
7. Standard disclaimer — "Outputs are preliminary engineering estimates requiring QA review"

Calculation Template Format

### [Calc Name]
**Code ref:** API/DNV/ISO clause X.Y.Z
**Formula:** σ = F / A
**Inputs:** F = [value] kN, A = [value] m²
**Result:** σ = [value] MPa
**Acceptance:** σ ≤ F_y / 1.67 = [value] MPa → PASS/FAIL

Knowledge Base Structuring

Structure markdown KB files for reliable AI citation:

• Top-level ## headings per topic (AI retrieves by heading)
• Tables for code values (yield strengths, load factors, limits)
• Numbered clauses matching source document numbering
• > Note: callouts for exceptions or applicability limits

Pilot Feedback Capture

After each demo session record:

• Time savings estimate: "Task X took Y hours; AI did it in Z minutes"
• Q&A log: questions asked + AI answer quality (Good / Needs refinement / Wrong)
• Objections: capture verbatim; map to rebuttal
• ROI metric: hours saved × billable rate / demo session cost

Chatbot Pitch Delivery

Objection handling:

• "It hallucinates" → Show disclaimer; position as senior-engineer-reviewer tool, not replacement
• "Our data is proprietary" → Explain no-training policy; local-deploy option (T3)
• "Too expensive" → Anchor to billable hours saved in pilot log
