slogsdon Skill: /workflow-monthly-skill-audit
Three-stage hygiene pipeline. Mirrors the message of the LLM-context-files post: context decays without maintenance.
When to use
- 1st of every month (cron candidate — pair with
/loopor/schedule). - After deprecating a workflow or removing skills, to catch downstream effects.
- When the user explicitly asks "is my skill layer healthy".
When NOT to use
- Single-skill review → read the SKILL.md directly.
- Inside the same week as the last audit — usage data won't have shifted.
Steps
| Step name | Stage | Invokes |
|---|---|---|
audit |
Skill audit | skill-audit |
memory |
Memory consolidation | anthropic-skills:consolidate-memory |
vault-lint |
Vault lint | vault-lint |
Stage 1: Skill audit — step audit — invokes skill-audit
Produces ~/Downloads/skill-audit-report.md.
Output: report file exists. Checkpoint: review top/bottom 5 before pruning memory.
Stage 2: Memory consolidation — step memory — invokes anthropic-skills:consolidate-memory
Reflective pass over MEMORY.md; merges duplicates, prunes stale facts, fixes the index.
Output: MEMORY.md updated; commit summary in conversation. Checkpoint: confirm memory edits look correct.
Stage 3: Vault lint — step vault-lint — invokes vault-lint
Catches orphan notes / broken links that may have been left by deprecated workflows.
Output: lint report in conversation.
Resume protocol
Default: run audit → memory → vault-lint in order, with checkpoints between each.
--resume-from <step>: skip every step before <step> and begin from <step>. The named step itself runs.
If <step> is not in {audit, memory, vault-lint}, print:
Invalid resume-from step: <step>
Valid steps: audit, memory, vault-lint
…and stop.
Required state when resuming
--resume-from audit— same as a fresh run.--resume-from memory—consolidate-memoryoperates on MEMORY.md directly; it does not need the audit report. If the audit report is absent, warn the user that the typical flow uses audit findings to inform memory pruning, and ask whether to continue.--resume-from vault-lint— independent of prior steps; runs against the live vault.
Examples:
/workflow-monthly-skill-audit --resume-from memory # audit report from a prior session
/workflow-monthly-skill-audit --resume-from vault-lint # just want the orphan check today
Other flags
--no-pausefor cron-driven runs.
Output destination
Stage 1 report goes to ~/Downloads/skill-audit-report.md and is auto-copied to vault Inbox/Skill Audit YYYY-MM-DD.md if the user opts in (asked at Stage 1 checkpoint).
Failure handling
If a stage errors, stop and print: which step failed, the underlying skill's error, and the resume command (/workflow-monthly-skill-audit --resume-from <step>).
