Skill Claude · ChatGPT / MCP
Manual time tracking
Record time using durations you confirm.
What it does
Tell Norma the period to review and the hours you want to log. Norma uses available project evidence to draft work descriptions, but you supply the duration. Project activity does not establish hours or billability.
Install
Connect Arch Studio in Claude or ChatGPT, then return to your conversation and ask Norma for the task. Your assistant uses its available file access and tools to carry out the skill.
