find-tasks from odinmb/ops-workflow is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add odinmb/ops-workflow/find-tasks@git:20260817.466ff48

Pins git:20260817.466ff48 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scan an ops repo's goals, state, and backlog to surface new work items and add them to the backlog. Load when deciding what the project should work on next.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ops Find Tasks

Analyze the project's goals, current state, and existing backlog to surface new work items that would move the project forward. The output is new backlog entries — this skill does NOT execute them.

## Context Required

Before running this skill, you need the project overview already loaded (MEMORY.md, state files, backlog, recent plans). If you don't have it, gather it now following the same context-loading steps as `ops:whats-next`.

## Analysis Lenses

Examine the project through these lenses to find work that isn't already tracked. Skip lenses that don't apply to the project.

### 1. Goal Gaps

Compare the project's stated goals (from MEMORY.md and state files) against what's actually being tracked in the backlog:

- Goals with no corresponding backlog items or active plans
- Goals where progress has stalled — the last related completed plan is old
- Sub-goals or prerequisites that are implied but not explicitly tracked

### 2. Stale State

State files describe reality. When reality changes, state files need updating:

- State entries older than 60 days that likely need refreshing (market data, competitor info, pricing, statistics)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add odinmb/ops-workflow/find-tasks@sha256:bfda9076c643471a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.466ff48, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
