audit-skills

To check for redundant Claude skills, audit installed SKILL.md files across project, global, and plugin directories by classifying each skill on knowledge novelty and process discipline axes, then grouping results into redundant, partially redundant, or valuable categories to identify duplicates.

Skill redundancy analysis evaluates installed Claude skills to detect duplicates of model knowledge versus real operational value. You need to audit your code environment when repositories become cluttered with overlapping skills that leak redundant behaviors to the model.

Generate a redundancy and value report by reading SKILL.md frontmatter and bodies from project, global, and plugin locations, then classifying each skill on knowledge and process-discipline axes to produce counts and recommended actions for removal or retention.

Yes, you can audit skills using YAML frontmatter since the process requires reading and parsing YAML frontmatter from SKILL.md files to extract metadata and summarize findings with counts of redundant, partially redundant, and valuable skills.

Auditing installed skills requires read access to project, global, and plugin skill directories and the ability to parse YAML frontmatter. No external dependencies are needed, making it straightforward to execute in any standard code environment.

The best way to classify Claude skills is applying a dual-axis evaluation on Knowledge novelty and Process Discipline workflow enforcement, sorting each skill into redundant, partially redundant, or valuable groups to determine which skills to remove or retain.
