Skill Catalog — Inventory Management
Maintains catalog.json as the single source of truth for installed skills.
Commands
Inventory (/meta-skill-catalog or /meta-skill-catalog inventory)
- Scan
.claude/skills/ for all skill directories
- Read each SKILL.md frontmatter
- Compare with
catalog.json
- Report:
- Skills on disk but not in catalog (unregistered)
- Skills in catalog but not on disk (orphaned entries)
- Skills with mismatched metadata (stale entries)
Rebuild (/meta-skill-catalog rebuild)
- Scan
.claude/skills/ for all skill directories
- Read each SKILL.md frontmatter

catalog.json from scratch

Audit (/meta-skill-catalog audit)
- Load
catalog.json
- For each skill, check:
- Does SKILL.md exist and have valid frontmatter?
- Does the name follow
{category}-{function} convention?
- Is the description clear and specific enough for auto-triggering?
- Are there any trigger overlaps between skills?
- Is the skill under 500 lines?
- Does the SKILL.md have a
version field in frontmatter?
- Does the catalog version match the SKILL.md version?
- Report issues with recommendations
