Checking skills health involves scanning ~/.claude/skills to extract frontmatter metadata such as version, last_verified, and external_deps, then assessing time decay and structural risks to produce a structured health report with safe remediation suggestions.

Skill metadata health checking is the process of validating frontmatter fields like version, last_verified, and provenance to detect aging skills, compatibility breaks after upgrades, and failing external dependencies before they disrupt your workflows.

Run a skill diagnostics scan by performing read-only discovery of skill sources including Arsenal symbolic links, pure custom skills, and community forks, extracting metadata to evaluate time decay, description validity, external dependencies, and structural health risks.

No, the Arsenal health check does not automatically fix dependencies; it returns a structured health report with prioritized actions and safe remediation suggestions that require explicit user confirmation before applying any edits.

Limitations include its read-only nature requiring manual user confirmation for remediation edits, and its diagnostic scope being confined to structural health, time decay, description validity, and external dependency risk assessment within ~/.claude/skills.
