List Steward Skills

Print a human-readable index of every skill in this repository, grouped by family prefix (`pr-management`, `security`, `setup`, …) with each skill's name and the first sentence of its `description`. The listing is generated on every run from the live `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` files, so it never goes stale when skills are added, removed, or rewritten.

File contents

list-steward-skills

Print a human-readable index of the skills in this repository. The index is generated on every run from the live .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md files — there is no cached copy to keep in sync. The skill exists for humans (newcomers reading the repo, maintainers checking what is available); agents route invocations via the same frontmatter the script reads, so this skill is purely informational.

Prerequisites

Python 3.9+ on PATH with PyYAML importable. The framework's Python toolchain already meets this; no extra setup.

Step 1 — Run the listing script

Run the bundled script and present its output to the user verbatim:

python3 .claude/skills/list-steward-skills/scripts/list_skills.py

For a layout that puts each description on its own indented line (easier to read when descriptions are long), pass --verbose:

python3 .claude/skills/list-steward-skills/scripts/list_skills.py --verbose

The script:

walks .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md relative to its own location;
parses each skill's YAML frontmatter for name + description;
groups skills by family prefix (the first hyphen-separated token, with pr-management recognised as a two-token family — see KNOWN_TWO_TOKEN_FAMILIES);
prints each skill with the first sentence of its description.

When a new multi-token family appears (e.g. a hypothetical docs-build-*), add the prefix to KNOWN_TWO_TOKEN_FAMILIES in scripts/list_skills.py; otherwise the new skills land under the single-token head.

Step 2 — Hand the output to the user

Quote the script output back to the user as-is. Do not paraphrase, summarise, or re-order — the value of this skill is that the listing is the canonical, deterministic view of what exists. If the user asks for more detail on a specific skill, read that skill's SKILL.md and answer from it.

Hard rules

Read-only. This skill never edits, creates, or deletes files. It only reads SKILL.md files under .claude/skills/.
No paraphrasing. Always present the script output verbatim. Paraphrasing reintroduces the staleness this skill exists to prevent.
