home-inspection-decoder

Make sense of a home-inspection report before you buy — what's serious vs cosmetic, what to negotiate, and what to investigate further. Use when asked to explain my home inspection, is this inspection finding serious, what should I negotiate after inspection, or decode my inspection report. Produces a triage of findings by severity (safety/structural/expensive vs minor/cosmetic), plain-English translations, the items worth a repair credit or price negotiation, what warrants a specialist follow-up, and a walk-vs-proceed read — flagging that the inspector and specialists are the authority.

# Home-Inspection Decoder

A home-inspection report is a scary wall of findings where a cracked outlet cover sits next to a failing foundation with equal visual weight. This triages it: what's actually serious, what's cosmetic, what to negotiate, and what needs a specialist before you commit — so you make the buy/negotiate/walk call with clarity instead of panic.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A severity triage** — findings sorted into safety/structural/big-ticket vs. maintenance vs. cosmetic
- **Plain-English translations** — what each significant finding actually means and roughly why it matters
- **Negotiation targets** — which items justify a repair credit, price reduction, or seller fix
- **Follow-up flags** — findings that warrant a specialist (structural engineer, electrician, roofer) before proceeding
- **A proceed/negotiate/walk read** — an overall gut-check based on the serious findings and your risk tolerance
