Agent skill
docs-cleaner
Consolidates redundant documentation while preserving all valuable content. This skill should be used when users want to clean up documentation bloat, merge redundant docs, reduce documentation sprawl, or consolidate multiple files covering the same topic. Triggers include "clean up docs", "consolidate documentation", "too many doc files", "merge these docs", or when documentation exceeds 500 lines across multiple files covering similar topics.

Documentation Cleaner
Consolidate redundant documentation while preserving 100% of valuable content.
Core Principle
Critical evaluation before deletion. Never blindly delete. Analyze each section's unique value before proposing removal. The goal is reduction without information loss.
Workflow
Phase 1: Discovery
- Identify all documentation files covering the topic
- Count total lines across files
- Map content overlap between documents
Phase 2: Value Analysis
For each document, create a section-by-section analysis table:
| Section | Lines | Value | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| API Reference | 25 | Keep | Unique endpoint documentation |
| Setup Steps | 40 | Condense | Verbose but essential |
| Test Results | 30 | Delete | One-time record, not reference |
Value categories:
- Keep: Unique, essential, frequently referenced
- Condense: Valuable but verbose
- Delete: Duplicate, one-time, self-evident, outdated
See references/value_analysis_template.md for detailed criteria.
Phase 3: Consolidation Plan
Propose target structure:
Before: 726 lines (3 files, high redundancy)
After: ~100 lines (1 file + reference in CLAUDE.md)
Reduction: 86%
Value preserved: 100%
Phase 4: Execution
- Create consolidated document with all valuable content
- Delete redundant source files
- Update references (CLAUDE.md, README, imports)
- Verify no broken links
Value Preservation Checklist
Before finalizing, confirm preservation of:
- Essential procedures (setup, configuration)
- Key constraints and gotchas
- Troubleshooting guides
- Technical debt / roadmap items
- External links and references
- Debug tips and code snippets
Anti-Patterns
| Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blind deletion | Loses valuable information | Section-by-section analysis first |
| Keeping everything | No reduction achieved | Apply value criteria strictly |
| Multiple sources of truth | Future divergence | Single authoritative location |
| Orphaned references | Broken links | Update all references after consolidation |
Output Artifacts
A successful cleanup produces:
- Consolidated document - Single source of truth
- Value analysis - Section-by-section justification
- Before/after metrics - Lines reduced, value preserved
- Updated references - CLAUDE.md or README with pointer to new location

excel-automation
Create, parse, and control Excel files on macOS. Professional formatting with openpyxl, complex xlsm parsing with stdlib zipfile+xml for investment bank financial models, and Excel window control via AppleScript. Use when creating formatted Excel reports, parsing financial models that openpyxl cannot handle, or automating Excel on macOS.
claude-code-history-files-finder
Finds and recovers content from Claude Code session history files. This skill should be used when searching for deleted files, tracking changes across sessions, analyzing conversation history, or recovering code from previous Claude interactions. Triggers include mentions of "session history", "recover deleted", "find in history", "previous conversation", or ".claude/projects".
claude-skills-troubleshooting
Diagnose and resolve Claude Code plugin and skill issues. This skill should be used when plugins are installed but not showing in available skills list, skills are not activating as expected, or when troubleshooting enabledPlugins configuration in settings.json. Triggers include "plugin not working", "skill not showing", "installed but disabled", or "enabledPlugins" issues.
fixing-claude-export-conversations
Fixes broken line wrapping in Claude Code exported conversation files (.txt), reconstructing tables, paragraphs, paths, and tool calls that were hard-wrapped at fixed column widths. Includes an automated validation suite (generic, file-agnostic checks). Triggers when the user has a Claude Code export file with broken formatting, mentions "fix export", "fix conversation", "exported conversation", "make export readable", references a file matching YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS-*.txt, or has a .txt file with broken tables, split paths, or mangled tool output from Claude Code.
continue-claude-work
Recover actionable context from local `.claude` session artifacts and continue interrupted work without running `claude --resume`. This skill should be used when the user provides a Claude session ID, asks to continue prior work from local history, or wants to inspect `.claude` files before resuming implementation.
promptfoo-evaluation
Configures and runs LLM evaluation using Promptfoo framework. Use when setting up prompt testing, creating evaluation configs (promptfooconfig.yaml), writing Python custom assertions, implementing llm-rubric for LLM-as-judge, or managing few-shot examples in prompts. Triggers on keywords like "promptfoo", "eval", "LLM evaluation", "prompt testing", or "model comparison".
