Skill Score
One repeatable pass that keeps the skill pack itself effective — the one surface no other scorecard grades. Runs the skill-effectiveness scorecard (`fak skill-effectiveness-scorecard`) over every .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md, reads the skill-debt work-list, and retires it worst-first by ADDING the real affordance — a sharp "Use when …" trigger, a reference that resolves on disk, the commit-by-path discipline a committing skill owes the shared trunk, a witness step, a scoped allowed-tools — never by spraying a keyword. Re-measures to PROVE skill-debt dropped, regenerates the committed snapshot, and commits only the skill lane by explicit path. An instance of the /score-2x loop pointed at the skill pack; the inward counterpart of agent-readiness (the agent's front door) and quality-score (the code). Use after adding or editing a skill, when a skill cites a tool that no longer exists, or on a /loop cadence to keep every skill discoverable, safe to operate, and trustworthy.

From the source SKILL.md
The headline metric is skill-debt: the count of concrete, re-derivable affordances a skill is missing across nine KPIs in four groups (discover / operate / trust / economy). Driving it to zero means every skill is discoverable, safe to operate, and trustworthy by construction. The shape is the family's: run the scorecard → read the skill-debt work-list → retire debt worst-first (real affordances only) → re-measure and prove the drop → commit ONLY the skill lane by explicit path.
What this skill does
Skill Score is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the tools-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/skill-score/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
