necessary-work
80 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
Use when work is about to grow past the ask, the task may already be done, or the user requests only the minimum. Not for executing the work: use tdd to build or strike-the-root to fix.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'necessary-work' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'necessary-work' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named necessary-work already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8ce0e87a3e88043cdeb4be21eec5565bbdc638ea' -- 'plugins/odin-core/skills/necessary-work' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/odin-core/skills/necessary-work' ~/.agents/skills/'necessary-work' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'necessary-work' ~/.claude/skills/'necessary-work' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
