Realign

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Realign skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Realign is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.

type:audit

Execute an instruction-placement audit's findings behind an explicit per-item human gate. Consumes the findings artifact the audit skill produced. It never re-judges the surface itself. For each finding the operator accepts, it performs the whole move atomically: create the path-scoped `.claude/rules/` file with its validated `paths:` glob (or the nested AGENTS.md plus its mandatory CLAUDE.md shim), excise the content from its source, regenerate the always-loaded rules index so the demoted surface stays reachable from subagents, and verify the result. Hard-denied safety content has no code path here. Use when: 'apply the placement findings', 'do the migration', 'move those conventions to rules', 'execute finding IP-004', 'realign our instruction layer', 'the audit says move it, do it'. This is the only skill in this plugin that changes anything, and there is no blanket-approve path.

Realign sits in the General category under the agents-skills-meta sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

Is Realign safe to install?

A free static scan flagged 1 of ten categories (filesystem), including lower-severity patterns. Read the security scan below before installing — a pattern inside a code fence is weighted as an example, not an instruction.

Installing & verifying

Installing Realign writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/realign/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — realign should appear by name.

What Realign needs to run

External services: The SKILL.md references pricing, quota, or rate limits — it likely calls a paid or rate-limited API. Check the source before wiring it into unattended automation.
Prerequisites: Ships its own installation / prerequisites section — it isn’t purely self-contained; read that first.
Worked code: 1 copy-paste code block in the body.
Depth: ~1,355 words, typical mid-range depth.

When to reach for it

There are 10 related skills in General — a two-minute scan of the alternatives usually confirms whether Realign is the right pick.

What this skill does

Realign is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the agents-skills-meta sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/realign/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when: 'apply the placement findings', 'do the migration', 'move those conventions to rules', 'execute finding IP-004', 'realign our instruction layer', 'the audit says move it, do it'. This is the only skill in this plugin that changes anything, and there is no blanket-approve path.
