Skills Audit

Audit all installed skills to identify duplicates, platform-mismatched skills, and maintenance candidates. Use when: (1) the user asks to "clean up skills", "check for duplicate skills", "audit installed skills", or "find skills to remove"; (2) performing periodic skill maintenance; (3) investigating skill clutter or skill conflicts. Scans all SKILL.md files in ~/.workbuddy/skills/, compares against a golden list of approved skills, classifies each as approved / unknown / platform-specific, and generates a structured audit report.

Audit all installed WorkBuddy skills, classify them, and generate a cleanup report.

Workflow

1. Run the audit script

python scripts/audit_skills.py

This scans ~/.workbuddy/skills/, reads each SKILL.md, and generates a skills-audit-YYYY-MM.md report.

Options:

• --dir <path> — custom skills directory (default: ~/.workbuddy/skills/)
• --golden <path> — custom golden list (default: references/golden-list.md)
• --output <path> — custom report output path

2. Interpret the report

The report classifies each skill into one of three categories:

Status	Meaning	Action
[OK] Approved	Matches the golden list	Keep
[!] Review	Not in golden list, not platform-specific	Manually review
[X] Platform:	Designed for Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw	Candidate for removal

3. Present findings to user

Use present_files to show the report. For platform-specific or unknown skills, flag them and ask the user for confirmation before removing.

4. Remove redundant skills (after user confirmation)

rm -rf ~/.workbuddy/skills/<skill-dir>

Classification Rules

1. Golden list match: If the skill name or directory matches an entry in references/golden-list.md, it is Approved.
2. Platform detection: SKILL.md is scanned for keywords (clawdbot, moltbot, openclaw, clawhub, CodeConductor.ai). If found and not in golden list, it is flagged as platform-specific.
3. Otherwise: Classified as Unknown — requires manual review.
