How does it determine if a skill is 'stale'?

It uses holistic AI judgment combined with web searches to verify if technical references, APIs, or CLI flags mentioned in the skill are still current and functional.

Does this skill delete my files automatically?

No, Skill Stocktake requires explicit user confirmation before any archive, delete, or merge operations are performed.

What is the difference between Quick Scan and Full Stocktake?

Quick Scan only evaluates skills that have changed since the last audit (taking 5-10 minutes), while Full Stocktake performs a complete inventory and evaluation of all skills (taking 20-30 minutes).

Where does the skill look for my files?

It targets global skills in ~/.claude/skills/ and project-specific skills in the current working directory's .claude/skills/ folder.
