How does this skill help with Claude Code specifically?

It ensures that Claude can correctly resolve @ references and find specific skills by keeping the directory structure and cross-links healthy and valid.

Why are backtick-wrapped links flagged as errors?

In many AI markdown implementations, wrapping a skill reference in backticks disables link resolution, preventing the AI from following the reference to the linked content.

When should I run the gardening scripts?

It is best practice to run the health checks immediately after adding or renaming skills, and periodically (weekly or monthly) to ensure long-term library health.

What is 'gardening' in the context of a skills wiki?

Gardening refers to the routine maintenance of a skills library, such as fixing broken links, cleaning up naming, and ensuring all skills are properly indexed for easy discovery by the AI agent.

Does it fix issues automatically?

The scripts identify errors like broken links or naming violations and provide specific instructions or automated fix patterns to resolve them efficiently.
