Skill no7z/skillstat
Audit your Claude Code skills: see which actually fire, which are dead weight eating context tokens, and slim them down. Local, zero-dependency, AI-free.

- 26 days oldThe repository was created 26 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Audit which installed Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor skills actually fire, compare usage across agents, estimate Claude context cost, and safely slim unused Claude user skills. Use when the user asks which skills they use, which agent used them, whether they have too many skills, or what is bloating context. Runs the local skillstat CLI offline.

skillstat — audit your installed skills
skillstat is a local, zero-dependency CLI that parses Claude Code, Codex, and
Cursor transcripts to report which installed skills actually trigger. Claude
provides explicit/auto evidence, Codex provides explicit/observed evidence, and
Cursor provides explicit evidence only. Everything runs locally.
How to run it
Prefer a globally installed binary; fall back to npx:
skillstat <command> # if installed: npm i -g skillstat
npx -y skillstat <command> # otherwise
Choosing the command
Pick the sub-command from what the user is asking:
| User intent | Command |
|---|---|
| "Which skills do I actually use?" / usage breakdown | skillstat scan |
| "Which Codex skills did I use?" | skillstat scan --agent codex |
| "Compare Claude and Cursor" | skillstat scan --agent claude,cursor |
| "Show every skill, even unused ones" | skillstat scan --all |
| "What's filling my context?" / "are my skills expensive?" | skillstat cost |
| "Give me a report I can look at / share" | skillstat report -o skillstat-report.html |
| "Clean up / disable / archive unused skills" | skillstat slim (see safety note) |
| "Undo that / bring my skills back" | skillstat slim --restore |
Useful flags: --days <n> sets the idle threshold (default 30); --json gives
machine-readable output for scan and cost; --all includes never-triggered
skills in scan; --agent claude,codex,cursor selects sources.
Workflow
- Run
skillstat scan(orcost) and summarize the result for the user: how many skills are installed, how many are actually active, and — forcost— the estimated per-session token overhead and how much is wasted on idle skills. Note that context cost is Claude-only, Cursor uses transcript file mtime, and unsupported auto-trigger signals are intentionally omitted. - If they want to act on it, run
skillstat costto quantify the savings before suggestingslim.
Safety note for slim
skillstat slim moves idle user skills (never plugin skills) into
~/.claude/skills-disabled/. It is reversible via skillstat slim --restore.
- Do not pass
-y/--yeson the user's behalf without explicit confirmation — let the user see the list and confirm the move. - Always tell the user the move is reversible and how to undo it
(
skillstat slim --restore).
