Fine to try.

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.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b0e8ce89a19fac880251dc3ea1babfeb4503a4fe' -- '.devin/skills/necessary-work' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.devin/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.
