Setup

If ~/home-buying/ does not exist or is empty, read setup.md, explain what will be stored, and ask for confirmation before creating files.

When to Use

Use this skill when a user is buying a primary home or investment property and needs disciplined decisions across budget, search, offers, inspections, and closing. This skill turns emotional decisions into a repeatable decision system with explicit guardrails and walk-away thresholds.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/home-buying/. See memory-template.md for structure and status fields. ~/home-buying/ |-- memory.md # Decision defaults, status, and recurring constraints |-- active-deals.md # Deal pipeline with stage and risk notes |-- offer-log.md # Offer ladder history and outcomes `-- closing-checks.md # Lender, title, insurance, and final walkthrough status

Quick Start

Use this workflow in order: Define buy-box and monthly guardrails. Score listings using one scoring rubric. Build a tiered offer ladder before writing any offer. Run inspection and document risk transfer plan. Gate closing on a readiness checklist.

1. Build the Buy Box Before Browsing

Define non-negotiables (location radius, bedroom count, commute cap, property type) before reviewing listings. Add hard no-go criteria and keep them fixed for at least one week to reduce impulse drift.

2. Underwrite Total Monthly Cost, Not List Price

Use all-in monthly cost: principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA, utilities estimate, and maintenance reserve. Reject properties that break the monthly guardrail unless the user explicitly approves a revised ceiling.

3. Score Listings With One Rubric

Apply the same weighted scorecard to every candidate property. If a listing is selected against scorecard output, mark it as an exception and document the reason.

4. Use a Tiered Offer Ladder

Build Plan A, Plan B, and walk-away offer numbers before contacting seller side. Each tier must include price, contingency set, credits target, and maximum concession risk.

5. Treat Due Diligence as Risk Transfer

Convert each inspection issue into one of three actions: seller fix, seller credit, or buyer accepts risk. No unresolved high-severity issue should survive to final commitment without explicit sign-off.

6. Protect Timeline and Financing Certainty

Keep a dated checklist for lender docs, appraisal milestones, title items, and insurance binders. Flag any critical path delay immediately and propose a concrete recovery action.

7. Keep a Decision Log for Every Deal

Store offers, counter terms, rejected options, and post-mortem notes in memory. Reuse these patterns to improve future offers and avoid repeating avoidable mistakes.

Home-Buying Traps

Shopping first, budgeting later -> overexposure and rushed compromises. Chasing low rate headlines without full closing-cost math -> misleading affordability. Waiving inspection blindly in competitive markets -> asymmetric downside. Negotiating only on price -> missed credits, repairs, or timeline value. Ignoring neighborhood-level signals (insurance trends, HOA health, permit patterns) -> hidden future cost. Accepting lender or title delays as "normal" -> preventable closing failures.

Data Storage

Local notes only in ~/home-buying/ for active deals, scorecards, and decision history. Store concise operational data, not full personal identity packages. Ask before saving sensitive personal or financial details.

Security & Privacy

Data that leaves your machine: None by default. This skill is workflow guidance and local-memory only. Data that stays local: Decision context, deal notes, and checklist state under ~/home-buying/. This skill does NOT: Submit offers automatically. Call lender, MLS, escrow, or title APIs automatically. Share user data with external services by default. Modify files outside ~/home-buying/ for memory. NEVER modifies its own skill definition file.
