What it does
Find Work is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. Orient on Home Assistant Homelab, scout read-only work sources (docs/issues + docs/plans, localtodo Issues/Tasks/Ideas ICS, shopping list, docs, TODO markers), rank a backlog with evidence, and emit launch briefs. Use when the user says find work, /find-work, what's left to do, or what should I work on.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development. It works with Home Assistant and Git. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.
When your agent uses it
- The user says find work
- Whats left to do
- What should I work on
Example prompts
- “/find-work”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Orient
- Scout sources
- Rank and dedupe
- Recommend + launch briefs
- Hand off
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e28308a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
rg
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Find Work loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 444 words (~2,225 tokens).
“Read-only discovery. Orient, scout sources, rank and dedupe, then recommend with launch briefs. Do not edit files, create worktrees, commit, push, or open PRs. Git is operator-owned (operator-owned-git.md).”
