What is the difference between Quick Scan and Full Stocktake?

Quick Scan only re-evaluates skills that have been modified since the last audit to save time, while Full Stocktake performs a comprehensive review of all skills in your library.

Does it automatically delete my skill files?

No. While the tool identifies skills that should be retired or merged, all archive or delete operations require explicit user confirmation before any files are moved.

Can I resume an audit if it is interrupted?

Yes. The tool saves intermediate progress to a results.json file, allowing it to resume from the last unevaluated skill if a batch process is stopped.

Where does the audit search for skills?

It scans both your global directory at ~/.claude/skills/ and project-specific skills found in the .claude/skills/ folder relative to your current working directory.

How does the AI determine if a skill is high quality?

The AI evaluates skills against a specific checklist focusing on actionability, scope fit, uniqueness compared to other files, and the freshness of technical references.
