Skill Export
Generate a comprehensive markdown catalog of all Claude skills available in the environment.
Workflow
Discover Skills from Three Sources
Personal Skills: ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
- Scan all subdirectories for SKILL.md files
Project Skills: .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
- Scan all subdirectories relative to current working directory
Plugin Skills: Requires careful multi-step discovery
- Read
~/.claude/settings.json to get enabled plugins (format: plugin-name@marketplace-id)
- Parse each plugin ID into plugin name and marketplace ID
- Look up marketplace location in
~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json
- Read
{marketplaceLocation}/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json to get the marketplace manifest
- Find the specific plugin by name in the manifest's
plugins array
- Only scan skills listed in that plugin's
skills array (do not scan entire marketplace)
- For each skill path, read
{marketplaceLocation}/{skillPath}/SKILL.md
Critical: Plugin discovery must be scoped to enabled plugins. Do not scan all skills in a marketplace—only those listed in the specific enabled plugin's manifest entry.
Extract and Format
For each SKILL.md file:
- Parse YAML frontmatter to extract
name and description.
- Record location as absolute path to the skill directory (use
dirname() of SKILL.md path)
Critical: Only read the YAML frontmatter, i.e., the top 5 lines, of SKILL.md files.
Generate markdown table:
# Skills
Skills are additional instructions for specific scenarios. Given below is a list of name, description, and location of all available skills.
If a skill is relevant to the task you're performing based on its description, read the SKILL.md file at the location of that skill for additional instructions.
| Name | Description | Location |
|------|-------------|----------|
| skill-name | Description text | /absolute/path/to/skill |
Formatting: escape pipe characters (\|), remove newlines from descriptions, sort by location type then name.
Write Output
Write the output into a SKILLS.md file at the current working directory. Write the generated markdown into the file, and display summary to the user in chat.
