Claude Code's hidden /skill-doctor command audits every loaded skill's token cost
dr_cintas · x · 2026-09-06
A little-known Claude Code command, /skill-doctor, audits every skill loaded in your session: it lists each one, flags skills you've never actually used, and shows how many tokens each costs.
The author runs it with a prompt like "run skill-doctor on my current session and grade which skills are actually earning their token cost and which are dead weight." For developers leaning heavily on the skills system, it's a quick way to cut wasted context and prune low-value skills.
