Claude Audit Skill
Analyze all .claude/ configuration files to find optimization opportunities.
Workflow
- Scan files: Find all
.mdfiles in.claude/directory (rules/, commands/, agents/, skills/) - Analyze each file for:
- Redundant instructions: Rules that repeat across multiple files
- Verbose phrasing: Overly wordy explanations that can be concise
- Move to memory candidates: Content rarely needed in context but referenced
- Present findings in a structured format
- Ask user: Which optimizations to implement?
Analysis Criteria
Redundant Instructions
- Same rule mentioned in multiple files
- Overlapping scope between rules and agents/skills
- Duplicate workflow descriptions
Verbose Phrasing
- Long paragraphs that can be shortened
- Redundant examples
- Over-explanation of obvious concepts
Memory Candidates
- Static reference material rarely changing
- Detailed examples not needed in every session
- Background context that can be loaded on-demand
