Find new directions for an ops project — adjacent opportunities, strategic gaps, preparatory research. Use when known work is well-mined and you need to look outward.

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

# Find Opportunities

Identify **new directions of work** the project should explore — things that aren't already tracked, aren't obvious from the existing backlog, and that the project owner may not have thought to pursue yet. The output is backlog-ready items — this skill does NOT execute them.

This is the outward-looking complement to `/find-tasks`, which finds work within existing paths. This skill looks beyond current plans to find new territory.

## When to Use

- When `/find-tasks` lenses 1-6 yield fewer than 2 new items (existing paths are well-mined)
- When the user asks "what else should we be thinking about?"
- Between major milestones when strategy should be reassessed
- When the project feels stuck or stale

## Context Required

Before running this skill, you need the project overview already loaded (MEMORY.md, state files, backlog, recent plans, references). If you don't have it, gather it now:

1. `MEMORY.md` — project overview, goals, and knowledge map
2. `state/INDEX.md` → then every file listed in it
3. `backlog/INDEX.md` → then every file and subfolder listed in it
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add odinmb/ops-workflow/find-opps@sha256:d56de6936e8432f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.5a3a3a0, 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.
