Build Heritage Zoning Preservation Assistant using Claude Agents SDK

Historic urban regeneration projects—such as King's Cross—require strict compliance with historical preservation guidelines when repurposing heritage assets. Developers will build a heritage preservation assistant using Claude Agents SDK. The agent cross-references proposed architectural modifications against local heritage listing guidelines, flagging prohibited facade alterations, non-compliant materials, or unauthorized structural changes.

What you are building

Develop an autonomous heritage preservation inspection agent using Claude Agents SDK to audit urban regeneration plans.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy of heritage violation identification and required approval recommendations.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

Violation Flagging

Verifies that UPVC material on Grade II* asset triggers approval failure

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

Violation Recall

Recall accuracy for heritage guideline breaches • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Configure Claude Agents SDK to parse historical building protection registers

  • Build custom audit tools to detect non-compliant architectural materials

  • Generate detailed preservation variance application summaries for local planning boards

  • Evaluate structural modification proposals against Grade I/II listing constraints

Resources

Dataset notes

Dataset of 35 historic building preservation filings and architectural alteration plans.

Challenge setup

Evaluates accuracy of heritage violation identification and required approval recommendations.
