Listing Skills

List core skills:

ls .claude/skills/

List library skills:

find .claude/skill-library -name "SKILL.md" -type f | \
  sed 's|.claude/skill-library/||' | \
  sed 's|/SKILL.md||' | \
  sort

Step 1: Navigate to Repository Root (MANDATORY)

Execute BEFORE any list operation:

ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree --show-toplevel | head -1)" && cd "$ROOT"

⚠️ If skill file not found: You are in the wrong directory. Navigate to repo root first. The file exists, you're just looking in the wrong place.

Cannot proceed without navigating to repo root ✅

Workflow

Step 2: List Core Skills

# Get all core skill directories
ls -d .claude/skills/*/

# For each, read SKILL.md frontmatter
Read .claude/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md | head -10

Extract:

• Skill name
• Description
• Line count (wc -l)

Step 3: List Library Skills

# Get all library skills organized by category
find .claude/skill-library -name "SKILL.md" | sort

Group by category:

• Parse path to extract category
• Group skills under category headers

Step 4: Check Status (Optional)

For each skill, check if it has issues:

# Quick validation
- Has frontmatter?
- Description valid?
- Under 500 lines?

Mark as:

• ✅ Compliant
• ⚠️ Has warnings
• ❌ Has errors
