Does it support project-specific skills?

Yes, it automatically detects and includes skills found in your current working directory's .claude/skills folder alongside your global settings.

What is the purpose of skill-stocktake?

It is a management tool for Claude Code that audits your custom skills and slash commands to ensure they are high-quality, unique, and technically up-to-date.

Can it check for outdated technical information?

Yes, the audit process includes a verification step where the AI can use web search to check if tool names, CLI arguments, or API references in your skills are still valid.

Will it automatically delete my skills?

No. While the tool provides 'Retire' or 'Merge' verdicts, no files are deleted or modified without explicit user confirmation.

How does the Quick Scan mode save time?

Quick Scan compares current files against a cached results.json and only re-evaluates skills that have been modified since the last audit, reducing processing time to 5-10 minutes.
