**Find the agent skills on your machine that are broken, outdated, duplicated, or already built into your agent.**
You install skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot… and they quietly rot. A CLI disappears, an upstream repo moves on, a model id gets retired, or the agent ships the feature natively (Claude Code added `/loop`, and every "looper" skill became dead weight). `skill-freshness` is a skill that audits all of them at once and tells you, with sources, what to keep, update, replace or delete. It never changes anything until you confirm each item.
/skill-freshness audit everything
/skill-freshness defuddle one skill, every copy of it
/skill-freshness --fix then apply the fixes you approve, one by one
What it checks
| Question | How |
|---|---|
| Where are my skills, and which agent actually loads them? | Scans every known skill folder (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode, Qwen Code, Kilo Code, Roo Code, Windsurf, the shared ~/.agents/skills store, plugins, project folders) and sweeps your home folder for the rest. Flags copies no installed agent reads, nested SKILL.md files that never load, and duplicates (identical vs diverged). |
| Does it still work? | Is the CLI it calls on PATH? Do its scripts compile? Are its Python modules importable? Do the files it references exist? Optional --smoke runs scripts with --help. |
| *Is it outdated? |
