FAQPage Schema

How do I restore an archived Claude skill back to active use?▼

To restore an archived Claude skill, you move it from the archive folder to the active skills directory. The restoration process checks for conflicts with any existing active skill and guides you through safe reactivation before updating related agent references.

What happens if I restore a skill that conflicts with an existing active skill?▼

When restoring a skill that conflicts with an existing active skill, the process detects the issue and guides you through safe restoration. This ensures you do not accidentally overwrite a currently active skill with the archived version during reactivation.

Does restoring a skill update agent references automatically?▼

Restoring a skill updates or reminds you about agent references to maintain consistency across agents after reactivation. This step ensures related agents correctly recognize the restored skill within the active skills directory.

Do I need a specific repository structure to restore archived skills?▼

You need a repository with a managed archive structure to restore archived skills. The process uses git mv or falls back to standard mv commands to relocate the skill from the archive folder to the active skills namespace.

Can I reactivate a retired skill without losing its version control history?▼

You can reactivate a retired skill without losing version control history by using the git mv command during restoration. This moves the skill from the archive folder to the active skills directory while preserving its git tracking.

Why does my restored skill require post-restore confirmation?▼

A restored skill requires post-restore confirmation to verify the successful relocation from the archive folder to the active skills directory. This check ensures the skill is fully recognized in the active skills namespace before you begin using it.
