skill-stocktake

Auditing Claude skills for staleness and overlap involves extracting frontmatter and timestamps from global and project-level skill directories, comparing content against core documentation, and generating a verdict table with recommended actions like Keep, Improve, Merge, or Retire.

A skill inventory quality assessment is a structured audit process that evaluates skills for freshness, actionability, and uniqueness to find stale, overlapping, or low-quality commands. You need it when maintaining a large collection of Claude skills and deciding whether to keep, improve, merge, or retire them.

Running a comprehensive documentation stocktake requires executing a full audit mode that enumerates all global and project-level skill files, evaluates content overlap with MEMORY.md and CLAUDE.md, assesses reference currency, and outputs a summary table with actionable consolidation guidance.

Yes, you can perform a quick scan to audit only changed skills instead of a full stocktake. This mode targets recently modified files in global and project-level directories to provide a faster summary of verdicts and suggested next steps without evaluating the entire collection.

No, the skill audit process does not automatically delete or archive overlapping commands. It generates a verdict table with recommended actions for consolidation and quality improvement, but it requires explicit user confirmation before executing any destructive changes like archiving or deleting files.
