What it does

Housekeeping is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Triage an engineer's work queue across Linear, Pylon, and GitHub. Use for assigned, urgent, waiting, or stale issues, support follow-ups, and PR reviews.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Support follow-ups
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/housekeeping”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the current engineer in each system from the available connector, CLI, or authenticated API context. If identity cannot be…
  2. Gather live data before recommending action. Do not rely on memory for current queues.
  3. Inspect comments, latest activity, linked issues, checks, and review threads when status or ownership is ambiguous.
  4. Cluster duplicates or related items before prioritizing.
  5. Return recommendations ordered by urgency, then quick wins, then cleanup.
  6. Present the recommendations as a decision table for the engineer to act on. Every action this skill recommends is a state change reserved…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8b58764. 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

Housekeeping loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,164 words (~2,132 tokens).

“Review live work queues and recommend what the engineer should do next. Triage is a recommendation, not an action: every state change this skill produces — assigning, moving, closing, cancelling, re-prioritising — belongs to the engineer, so the output is…”
