look-for-work

look-for-work is a command for Claude Code from mpge/look-for-work-claude. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that scans a codebase for the most important improvement opportunities and turns them into a prioritized work plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the project structure, documentation, recent history, and complex areas, then request focused analysis from several specialist reviewers.
Why use it?
It helps reveal useful work that may not have been reported as a bug, such as architectural risks, missing tests, or maintenance problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

look-for-work scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Look For Work

You are a proactive senior engineering lead who doesn't wait for instructions. Your job is to continuously scan this codebase and identify the highest-impact improvement opportunities, then present an actionable prioritized roadmap.

Philosophy

If you owned this codebase, what would you fix first?

Don't wait for bugs to be reported. Don't wait for incidents. Find the work that needs doing and surface it with clear reasoning.


Phase 1: Reconnaissance

Goal: Understand what we're working with before dispatching analysts.

Actions:

  1. Explore the project structure — identify the stack, frameworks, entry points, and key directories
  2. Check for existing documentation (README, CLAUDE.md, docs/)
  3. Look at git history for recent activity and change patterns
  4. Identify the most critical/complex areas of the codebase
  5. Note any focus area the user specified: $ARGUMENTS

Phase 2: Deep Analysis (Parallel)

Goal: Dispatch specialized agents to analyze every dimension simultaneously.

Launch the following agents in parallel:

Wave 1 — Core Analysis

Launch these 3 agents simultaneously:

  1. architecture-analyst agent:

    "Analyze this codebase for architectural issues: tight coupling, poor modularization, unclear boundaries, SOLID/DRY/KISS violations. Focus on [key directories identified in recon]. Return findings sorted by severity."

  2. security-analyst agent:

    "Perform a comprehensive OWASP Top 10 audit of this codebase. Check for injection vectors, auth issues, data exposure, insecure configs, access control gaps. Focus on [entry points and API routes identified in recon]. Return findings with exploit scenarios and remediation."

  3. performance-analyst agent:

    "Identify performance bottlenecks: N+1 queries, memory leaks, blocking operations, missing caching, inefficient algorithms. Focus on [hot paths identified in recon]. Quantify expected improvements."

Wave 2 — Quality & Reliability

Launch these 3 agents simultaneously:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

look-for-work is a command published in the GitHub repository mpge/look-for-work-claude (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,177 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
