What problem does it solve?
Skill Builder automates the discovery, auditing, optimization, and enforcement of Claude Code skills so teams can maintain consistent, drift-resistant skill repositories without manual review. It centralizes checks for frontmatter, grounding, hooks, agents, and CLAUDE.md extraction candidates to prevent broken behavior and contextual drift across long conversations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Project-wide Audits: Run a full, read-only audit that aggregates optimize, agents, and hooks findings and ranks priority fixes.
- Optimize & Refactor: Propose and (with execute mode) apply safe restructures that move references, preserve directives verbatim, and split large reference files into enforcement boundaries.
- Agent & Hook Recommendations: Detect where
context: none agents or PreToolUse hooks are required, produce agent templates, and wire hook scripts.
- Bootstrap & CLAUDE.md Extraction: Extract domain content from CLAUDE.md into new skills for first-run or migration scenarios.
- Self-Heal & Ledger Integration: Install companion skills (self-heal, awareness-ledger) and seed institutional memory; suggest capture opportunities and embed surgical repair observers.
- Execute Mode Discipline: When executing changes, generate explicit TaskCreate task lists and update progress via TaskUpdate to maintain resumable, auditable operations.
- Use Case Example: Quickly audit a newly cloned repo, get prioritized fixes (frontmatter, hooks, agent gaps), and apply selected changes with a single, resumable task plan.
Quick Start
Run /skill-builder audit to produce a display-mode system-wide audit report that lists optimization, agent, and hook recommendations and offers executable task plans.
