Our review
Generates a Markdown catalog of all available Claude skills in the environment, discovering them from personal, project, and plugin sources.
Strengths
- Comprehensive inventory of skills from three sources
- Automatic generation of a Markdown table
- Plugin skills discovery scoped only to enabled plugins without scanning the entire marketplace
Limitations
- Only reads the YAML frontmatter of SKILL.md files, not the full content
- Plugin discovery relies on precise settings.json configuration
- Assumes standard directory structure for skills
When you need a quick overview of all available skills and their descriptions.
When you need the full skill content or if the environment does not follow the standard skills directory layout.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses read-only file discovery and content reading commands (Glob, Read, Bash with echo, cat, find, ls). It does not execute or modify files, access network, or exfiltrate data. All operations are local and non-destructive.

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.jsonto 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.jsonto get the marketplace manifest - Find the specific plugin by name in the manifest's
pluginsarray - Only scan skills listed in that plugin's
skillsarray (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
nameanddescription. - 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.
