Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

1. **Install Homunculus**: Run `claude plugins install homunculus` in your terminal to add the plugin to Claude Code. 2. **Describe Your Workflow**: Paste your current manual process into the chat, including specific file paths, commands, or triggers (e.g., 'I manually run `python merge_csvs.py` every Monday'). 3. **Let It Observe**: Homunculus will monitor your next 2-3 executions to identify patterns. Avoid making changes during this phase. 4. **Review Suggestions**: After observation, Homunculus will propose optimizations. Use `claude homunculus review` to see the proposed automation steps. 5. **Refine and Deploy**: Accept or modify the suggestions, then use `claude homunculus apply` to implement the changes. Monitor the first few automated runs to ensure accuracy.

Usage Examples

Example Output

After analyzing your weekly data processing workflow, Homunculus suggests the following automation:

1. **File Consolidation**: Instead of manually merging CSV files from `/data/raw/` into `/data/processed/`, Homunculus will now run a Python script that:
   - Scans `/data/raw/` every Monday at 8 AM
   - Combines all CSVs with matching column headers
   - Saves the output to `/data/processed/consolidated_YYYY-MM-DD.csv`
   - Logs errors to `/logs/consolidation_errors.log`

2. **Validation Check**: Homunculus added a pre-processing step that:
   - Verifies all input files have the required 'timestamp' and 'user_id' columns
   - Flags any missing files in Slack channel #data-alerts
   - Skips corrupted files automatically

3. **Performance Impact**: This automation reduced your manual processing time from 45 minutes to 2 minutes, with a 98% success rate in the first month. The script now handles 120+ files weekly without intervention.

Homunculus also detected that you frequently re-run failed jobs manually. It now:
- Retries failed consolidations up to 3 times
- Sends a summary of all actions to your email at 9 AM
- Provides a dashboard link in Notion for tracking weekly volume

Would you like me to implement these changes or adjust any part of the automation?
