ai:agent type:audit

Audit ~/.claude/agents/*.md (subagent definitions) for description-layer residency cost, body-layer quality, suppression instructions, staleness, and substrate absorption, assigning Keep/Improve/Update/Merge/Demote-to-skill/Dissolve/Retire verdicts. Use when the user says \"audit my agents\", \"agent stocktake\", \"which agents should I retire or merge\", 「agent を棚卸しして」「エージェント定義を見直して」, or when the model generation changed and agent bodies written for the previous one may suppress or over-constrain the current one.

How Agent Stocktake fits the catalog

From the source SKILL.md

Evaluate every agent definition under ~/.claude/agents/*.md and assign each a verdict: Keep / Improve / Update / Merge / Demote to skill / Dissolve / Retire. The audit unit is the file, but the cost unit is split across two layers — that split is the reason this skill exists as a third sibling next to skill-stocktake and rules-stocktake.

What this skill does

Agent Stocktake is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/agent-stocktake/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user says \"audit my agents\", \"agent stocktake\", \"which agents should I retire or merge\", 「agent を棚卸しして」「エージェント定義を見直して」, or when the model generation changed and agent bodies written for the previous one may suppress or over-constrain the current one. NOT for — skill quality → skill-stocktake; rules → rules-stocktake; runtime 層との横断照合 → generation-audit; whole-config GC → config-gc.
