Skill Stocktake

Runs a quality audit on your Claude skills directory, checking for overlap, staleness, and whether technical references are still current. Quick Scan mode re-evaluates only changed files in 5-10 minutes, Full Stocktake reviews everything in 20-30 minutes using subagent batch processing. Each skill gets a verdict (Keep, Improve, Update, Retire, or Merge) with a reason that explains the specific defect or value. The checklist is pragmatic: does it overlap with MEMORY.md, do the CLI flags still work, is it actually used. Phase 4 walks through retirements and merges with detailed justification before you confirm anything. If you've accumulated dozens of skills and aren't sure which ones are pulling their weight, this gives you a structured cleanup pass.

Files

skill-stocktake

Slash command (/skill-stocktake) that audits all Claude skills and commands using a quality checklist + AI holistic judgment. Supports two modes: Quick Scan for recently changed skills, and Full Stocktake for a complete review.

Scope

The command targets the following paths relative to the directory where it is invoked:

Path	Description
`~/.claude/skills/`	Global skills (all projects)
`{cwd}/.claude/skills/`	Project-level skills (if the directory exists)

At the start of Phase 1, the command explicitly lists which paths were found and scanned.

Directories named .trash are excluded from both scan modes: archived skills are not part of the live inventory. If an older results.json contains .trash entries, start a new Full Stocktake using the cache initialization below before resuming Quick Scan. An ordinary save merges entries and does not remove archived records.

Targeting a specific project

To include project-level skills, run from that project's root directory:

cd ~/path/to/my-project
/skill-stocktake
