Skill Finder & Verifier
Script: python3 /Users/alice/.claude/skills/skill-finder-verifier/scripts/finder.py
Baseline: /Users/alice/v/asi/skills/ (upstream plurigrid/asi)
Operations
# Scan all directories, classify every skill
python3 scripts/finder.py scan
# Scan a single location (agents|claude|codex|goose|copilot|openhands)
python3 scripts/finder.py scan claude
# Verify a specific skill's provenance
python3 scripts/finder.py verify ducklake
# Show diff between local and asi version
python3 scripts/finder.py diff basin
Classification
- local-only: Not in asi/skills/ at all. Genuinely created here.
- modified: Exists in asi but SKILL.md differs. Candidate for "functionally better" evaluation.
- identical: Same hash as asi. Batch-installed, unmodified.
- identical-md-extra-files: SKILL.md matches but local has additional files (scripts, assets).
Evaluating Modified Skills
When a skill is classified as modified, evaluate whether the changes make it functionally better by loading these 5 skills:
- sharp-edges — Does the modified version fix footgun designs or dangerous defaults?
- refuse-mediocrity — Does it raise the quality bar vs the generic upstream?
- code-review — Are any added scripts well-written and correct?
- hogwash-removal — Does it strip filler and add substance?
- skill-validation-gf3 — Does it maintain valid skill structure?
A modified skill counts as "functionally better" when it meets 3+ of 5 evaluator criteria:
- Adds environment-specific instructions the upstream lacks
- Includes working scripts/assets the upstream doesn't have
- Fixes incorrect or misleading guidance
- Removes generic filler, adds grounded instructions
- Maintains valid SKILL.md structure with proper frontmatter
What This Skill Is NOT
Not a batch installer. Not for downloading skills. Only for finding what's already here and verifying its provenance.
