What it does
Home Inspection Decoder is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Make sense of a home-inspection report before you buy — what's serious vs cosmetic, what to negotiate, and what to investigate further. Use when asked to explain my home inspection, is this inspection finding serious, what should I negotiate after inspection, or decode my inspection report. Produces a triage of findings by severity (safety/structural/expensive vs minor/cosmetic), plain-English translations, the items worth a repair credit or price negotiation, what warrants a specialist follow-up, and a…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Writing & Content, covering Translation and Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to explain my home inspection
- Is this inspection finding serious
- What should I negotiate after inspection
- Decode my inspection report
Example prompts
- “/home-inspection-decoder”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Sort by severity, not report order. Safety, structural, and expensive-system issues (foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water…
- Translate the jargon. Explain what each serious finding means and its rough implication, so the buyer isn't guessing.
- Separate deal-breakers from bargaining chips. Some findings justify walking; many justify a credit or repair. Identify each.
- Flag specialist follow-ups. Where the general inspector says "recommend further evaluation," treat it seriously — get the specialist quote…
- Give an honest overall read. Proceed, negotiate, or walk — tied to the serious findings and the buyer's tolerance, not a false all-clear.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Home Inspection Decoder loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 484 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.

- description
- Make sense of a home-inspection report before you buy — what's serious vs cosmetic, what to negotiate, and what to investigate further. Use when asked to explain my home inspection, is this inspection finding serious, what should I negotiate after inspection, or decode my inspection report. Produces a triage of findings by severity (safety/structural/expensive vs minor/cosmetic), plain-English translations, the items worth a repair credit or price negotiation, what warrants a specialist follow-up, and a walk-vs-proceed read — flagging that the inspector and specialists are the authority.
Home-Inspection Decoder
A home-inspection report is a scary wall of findings where a cracked outlet cover sits next to a failing foundation with equal visual weight. This triages it: what's actually serious, what's cosmetic, what to negotiate, and what needs a specialist before you commit — so you make the buy/negotiate/walk call with clarity instead of panic.
What This Skill Produces
- A severity triage — findings sorted into safety/structural/big-ticket vs. maintenance vs. cosmetic
- Plain-English translations — what each significant finding actually means and roughly why it matters
- Negotiation targets — which items justify a repair credit, price reduction, or seller fix
- Follow-up flags — findings that warrant a specialist (structural engineer, electrician, roofer) before proceeding
- A proceed/negotiate/walk read — an overall gut-check based on the serious findings and your risk tolerance
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The report — the findings (paste them or the key items)
- The deal stage — under contract, deciding whether to proceed, or negotiating
- The home — age, type, price, and how much cushion you have for repairs
- Your risk tolerance — appetite for a project vs. wanting move-in-ready
- Location — affects norms and who to call for follow-ups
Framework: Triage, Translate, Negotiate
- Sort by severity, not report order. Safety, structural, and expensive-system issues (foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water intrusion) matter; a sticking door doesn't.
- Translate the jargon. Explain what each serious finding means and its rough implication, so the buyer isn't guessing.
- Separate deal-breakers from bargaining chips. Some findings justify walking; many justify a credit or repair. Identify each.
- Flag specialist follow-ups. Where the general inspector says "recommend further evaluation," treat it seriously — get the specialist quote before finalizing.
- Give an honest overall read. Proceed, negotiate, or walk — tied to the serious findings and the buyer's tolerance, not a false all-clear.

Output Format
Inspection decode: [home] · [price] · stage: [x]
Serious (safety/structural/expensive)
- [finding] → what it means: [plain] · action: [negotiate / specialist / dealbreaker].
Worth negotiating: [items → credit/repair/reduction]. Get a specialist for: [findings needing structural/electrical/roof/etc. follow-up]. Minor/cosmetic (don't sweat): [list]. Overall read: [proceed / negotiate hard / walk] — because [serious findings + your tolerance].
The inspector and specialists are the authority — get quotes/evaluations on the flagged items before finalizing.
Quality Checks
- Findings are triaged by real severity, not report order
- Serious items are translated into plain meaning
- Negotiation targets are identified
- Specialist follow-ups are flagged for "further evaluation" items
- Gives an honest proceed/negotiate/walk read
- Defers to the inspector/specialists as the authority
Anti-Patterns
- Treating every finding as equal weight.
- Panic over cosmetic issues or dismissing structural ones.
- No negotiation guidance on legitimately chargeable items.
- Ignoring "recommend further evaluation" flags.
- A false all-clear that overrides the inspector.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Can you explain my home inspection report? Some of it sounds scary."
- "Is this foundation finding a dealbreaker or negotiable?"
- "What should I ask the seller to fix or credit after inspection?"
- "Which of these inspection items need a specialist?"
- "Should I still buy this house given the inspection?"
