SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide a clear, read-only inventory of loaded skills across core (bkit/plugin-managed) and project-local layers to help discover duplicates, overrides, and coverage gaps without manual file inspection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Inventory: Scans core and project-local skill directories and summarizes SKILL.md frontmatter for fast discovery.
  • Conflict & Shadow Detection: Identifies name overrides and trigger shadowing when project skills collide with core skills.
  • Filtering Options: Supports detail and conflict-only modes for focused troubleshooting and audits.
  • Use Case: When onboarding a new feature, run the report to ensure your project-local skill doesn't unintentionally override a core skill and to document current skill coverage.

Quick Start

Run the skill-status command to generate a layered report of core and project-local skills and include --detail or --conflicts to expand or filter the output.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-status

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect skill overrides and conflicts between project-local and core directories?

Skill conflict detection works by scanning core and project-local directories, reading SKILL.md frontmatter, and comparing names and triggers to identify shadowing or overrides. You can run the status command with --conflicts to filter output for collisions only.

What is the best way to inventory loaded skills across bkit plugin-managed and .claude project layers?

A layered inventory report scans core and project-local skill directories, summarizes SKILL.md frontmatter, and maps coverage to help discover duplicates and gaps. Running the skill-status command generates this read-only overview without manual file inspection.

Can I view detailed metadata for all loaded skills instead of just a summary?

Yes, detailed skill metadata viewing is supported by running the status command with the --detail option. This expands the layered inventory report to include comprehensive SKILL.md frontmatter information for both core and project-local skills.

Why does my project-local skill unintentionally override a core skill trigger?

Trigger shadowing happens when project-local skills share identical names or triggers with core bkit skills. Running a conflict detection report identifies these collisions by comparing frontmatter across layers, helping you document coverage and prevent unintentional overrides.

Does skill-status require any dependencies or specific environment setup to run?

No dependencies are required to run skill inventory and conflict detection. It applies to environments using bkit plugin-managed core skills and project-local .claude skills, reading SKILL.md frontmatter directly from those directories to generate status reports.

When should I run a skill coverage audit during the development lifecycle?

Running a skill coverage audit is ideal when onboarding a new feature to ensure project-local skills do not unintentionally override core skills. It documents current skill coverage and maps triggers to prevent conflicts before deployment.
