SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you systematically evaluate and improve the quality, uniqueness, overlap, and technical currency of your Claude skills so you avoid stale or redundant instructions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Global + project inventory scanning: Collects all *.md skills from both ~/.claude/skills/ and {cwd}/.claude/skills/ (when present), including frontmatter fields and UTC mtimes.
  • Quick Scan vs Full Stocktake: Runs a fast incremental review when a cached results.json exists, or a complete re-audit when the cache is missing or when you explicitly request full mode.
  • AI holistic judgment with checklist enforcement: Produces per-skill verdicts (Keep/Improve/Update/Retire/Merge) using a quality checklist covering overlap with other skills and with MEMORY/CLAUDE docs, freshness of technical references, and usage frequency.

Quick Start

Run /skill-stocktake full from your project root to perform a complete review of both global and project-level skills.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit Claude skills for quality and overlap?▼

To audit Claude skills for quality, run a full stocktake that scans global and project skill directories to detect overlaps, verify technical freshness, and produce per-skill action verdicts like Keep, Improve, Update, Retire, or Merge.

What is incremental review for Claude skills inventory scanning?▼

Incremental review for Claude skills inventory scanning uses a cached results.json file to run a fast Quick Scan, evaluating skill freshness and overlap without executing a complete time-consuming re-audit pipeline from scratch.

How do I identify redundant or stale instructions across Claude skills?▼

You identify redundant or stale instructions by scanning all markdown skill files to evaluate overlap with MEMORY and CLAUDE docs, checking technical reference freshness, and considering usage frequency to generate consolidation verdicts.

Do I need jq installed to perform a Claude skills quality audit?▼

Yes, you need jq installed because the skill stocktake pipeline depends on it to parse frontmatter fields, process cached evaluation state, and return structured per-skill JSON results plus a summary table.

Can I resume an interrupted full scan and evaluate pipeline for Claude skills?▼

Yes, you can resume an interrupted full scan and evaluate pipeline because the stocktake process includes built-in checkpoint and resume support to handle routine skill maintenance tasks across large skill directories.
