The problem

You receive a contractor's programme as an XER file. To check if it is credible, you need to review the critical path, check for missing logic, look at float distribution, and flag slipping activities. In P6 that means clicking through dozens of screens. Most people just look at the Gantt chart and hope for the best.

What this skill does

• Overall health score (0-100) with Healthy/Caution/At Risk/Critical rating
• Critical path analysis: count, percentage, continuity check
• Float distribution: negative, zero, near-critical, and healthy ranges
• Logic quality: missing predecessors, missing successors, open ends
• Slipping activities: forecast vs baseline, average and maximum slip
• Long duration activities flagged for breakdown
• Prioritised recommendations: what to fix first and why

Quick start

1. Download the skill and drop it into your project
2. Connect the PyP6Xer MCP server (instructions included)
3. Upload or link any XER file and ask for a health check
