README
skill-curator
Manage the Claude Code skills installed on your machine — list, inspect, disable, enable, or remove across user, project, and plugin sources.
Skills in Claude Code are triggered by natural-language match against each skill's `description`. As your library grows past a dozen or so, it becomes hard to remember what you have, what will fire when, and what overlaps. **skill-curator** is a single skill that manages the others.
Scope
skill-curator only manages **filesystem SKILL.md files**. It deliberately does **not** track:
- Claude Code built-in slash commands (
/init,/review,/compact, etc.) - MCP server tools / prompts
- Runtime-injected capabilities or harness-level agents
- Files under
~/.claude/commands/(those are slash commands, not skills)
The rule is simple: if there's a `SKILL.md` file under `~/.claude/skills/`, `/.claude/skills/`, or `~/.claude/plugins/cache////skills/`, curator manages it. Anything else is out of scope.
What it does
- List every installed skill across all three sources (user / project / plugin), grouped by what they do (Write · Find · Build · Manage · Other). Each row shows the skill's one-line purpose, its concrete trigger context ("say 'draft a cold email'" / "when planning a multi-step project" / "type /name" / "auto on file edit"), and its source.
- Diagnose proactively at the bottom of every list: name conflicts, bundled duplicates (e.g. you manually copied 14 skills from the same plugin — collapsed into one summary), and functionally overlapping skills. Each overlap ships with a side-by-side read: what's in common, what's different, which one to keep and why.
- Tune triggers (
tune-trigger): append your own trigger keywords, switch a skill to manual-only, or change its scenario description. For plugin skills, curator forks them to your user directory first so updates don't overwrite your changes. - Disable / enable skills
