Restore skill
Target skill: $ARGUMENTS
Step 1 — Find the archived skill
If no argument given, Glob .claude/skills/archive/ and list available archived skills, then ask which to restore.
Otherwise check for .claude/skills/archive/<name>/SKILL.md. If not found, stop and say so.
Step 2 — Check for name conflicts
Check if .claude/skills/<name>/ already exists as an active skill.
If it does, stop and warn:
Conflict: .claude/skills/<name>/ already exists as an active skill.
Cannot restore — rename or retire the active one first.
Step 3 — Confirm
Restoring: <skill-name>
This will move the skill from .claude/skills/archive/<name>/ back to .claude/skills/<name>/.
It will become active and appear in skill lists again.
Proceed? (yes / no)
Wait for confirmation.
Step 4 — Restore
git mv .claude/skills/archive/<name> .claude/skills/<name>
If git mv is unavailable (untracked files), use Bash mv instead.
Step 5 — Check agent references
After restoring, check if any Type B agent previously referenced this skill:
- Glob
.claude/agents/ for directories
- For each, read
AGENT.md and scan the Skills table
- If no agent references this skill, suggest:
Tip: If this skill was previously part of a Type B agent, you may want to
re-add it to that agent's AGENT.md Skills table manually.
Step 6 — Print summary
Restored: <skill-name>
Moved from: .claude/skills/archive/<name>/
Active at: .claude/skills/<name>/
The skill is now active and will appear in /list-skills.
