What it does

It Asset Management is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Tracks hardware and software assets through their life — procurement, ownership, licensing, refresh, and disposal. Use this to build an asset register, prepare for a software audit, plan a refresh cycle, control license spend, or dispose of equipment safely.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Vendor and procurement management. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Vendor and procurement management

Example prompts

  • “Use the it-asset-management skill to track hardware and software assets through their life — procurement, ownership, licensing, refresh, and disposal”
  • “/it-asset-management”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

It Asset Management loads about 963 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 548 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~963
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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.

description
Tracks hardware and software assets through their life — procurement, ownership, licensing, refresh, and disposal. Use this to build an asset register, prepare for a software audit, plan a refresh cycle, control license spend, or dispose of equipment safely.

IT asset management

The register exists to answer operational questions: what do we have, who has it, is it supported, is it licensed, and when does it need replacing. An inventory that answers none of those is an accounting artifact.

One register, reconciled against reality

A register maintained by hand diverges immediately. Feed it from discovery — what is actually on the network and enrolled in management — and reconcile against procurement and finance records.

The valuable output is the discrepancy list: assets in the register that discovery cannot find, and devices discovery finds that the register does not know about. The second category is the security problem, since an unknown device is unmanaged by definition.

Ownership, not just location

Every asset needs a named accountable person. "The engineering team" is not an owner; when the device needs patching, returning or replacing, a team does not answer.

Track state through the lifecycle — ordered, in stock, assigned, in repair, retired, disposed — and require the state change at the moment of handover. A register updated in batches is a register that is wrong between batches, which is most of the time.

Software licensing

Under-licensing is a financial and legal exposure that surfaces at audit; over-licensing is money spent on nothing, and it is usually the larger number.

Reconcile entitlements against actual installs and actual use. Reclaiming licenses from people who stopped using a tool typically funds a meaningful fraction of the next renewal, and the data for it already exists.

Watch license models that change cost with infrastructure — per-core, per-socket, per-user in a system that provisions freely. A routine infrastructure change can multiply a license bill with no procurement decision anywhere in the path.

Refresh and disposal

Plan refresh on a cycle and budget it as a steady cost through finance:budgeting-and-forecasting. Refresh driven by failure produces an unpredictable expense and a worse experience, and it always arrives at the wrong moment.

Disposal is where data escapes. Require certified destruction or verified wipe, keep the certificate, and treat storage devices as data until proven otherwise. A drive in a cupboard nobody logged is a breach with no date attached.

Tooling

Discovery and hardware inventory: Lansweeper, Snipe-IT, ServiceNow ITAM, Device42, and similar; the endpoint management platform already knows most of the fleet and is the cheapest starting point.

Software licensing and SaaS spend: Flexera, Torii, Zylo, Productiv, and similar. The SaaS half is where the money hides, and it is discovered through the expense system and single sign-on logs as much as through any inventory tool.

Reconcile the register against the endpoint platform, the identity provider and the finance system on a schedule. Three systems each holding a partial truth is the normal state, and the gaps between them are the assets nobody is managing.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Never

  • Maintain a register by hand and trust it.
  • Record a team as an asset owner.
  • Renew licenses without reconciling against actual use.
  • Dispose of storage without evidence of destruction or wipe.
