Skill Lens v1.1 — "Your hot-trigger list has blind spots."

The Problem

You have 100+ skills installed. Only a fraction are in the hot-trigger list that actually gets auto-invoked. The rest are installed but invisible — they exist on disk but will never be called because:

1. The AI doesn't see them in the hot-trigger checklist
2. They're buried in the system reminder (144 skills = 200+ tokens)
3. You forgot you installed them

What It Does

Cross-references installed skills (~/.claude/skills/) against the hot-trigger list in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md:

~/.claude/skills/              CLAUDE.md hot-trigger list
      │                                  │
      ▼                                  ▼
  installed skills                auto-invoked skills
      │                                  │
      └────────── cross-reference ───────┘
                     │
        ┌────────────┼────────────┐

Quick Run

# Show report only
node ~/.claude/skills/skill-lens/lens.cjs

# Auto-apply top 10 to hot-trigger list (with backup)
node ~/.claude/skills/skill-lens/lens.cjs --apply

# Auto-apply top N
node ~/.claude/skills/skill-lens/lens.cjs --apply --top 5

Sample Output

### ⚠️ Top 10 Blind Spots (by priority)

What the Script Does (for LLM understanding)

The lens.cjs script handles all the dirty work so you don't have to:

Pipeline (if you want to do it manually)

Step 1: Extract

# Source A: All installed skills (real)
ls ~/.claude/skills/ | grep -v "^_\|^\."

# Source B: Skills in hot-trigger list
sed -n '/Hot Trigger List/,/If none of the {N} match/p' ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md | \
  grep -oP '\*\*[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*[a-z0-9]\*\*' | sort -u

Step 2: Compare

Build three sets using comm:

• ✅ Covered: in BOTH
• ⚠️ Blind: in skills, NOT in hot list
• 👻 Ghosts: in hot list, NOT in skills

Step 3: Prioritize

Sort blind spots by:

1. User's own products (tool-eval, preflight, brain-sync, skill-lens, skill-creator)
2. baoyu-* high-frequency skills
3. gstack curated suite (browse, canary, careful, codex, etc.)
4. Everything else

Step 4: Apply (manual)

To add a blind spot to the hot-trigger list, edit ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md:

1. Find ## Skill Auto-Discovery — Hot Trigger List
2. Insert new rows before **If none of the {N} match:**
3. Update the {N} in the "If none of" line

Or just run: node lens.cjs --apply

History Tracking

Each run appends to ~/.claude/.cache/skill-lens-history.json:

[
  {"date": "2026-06-07", "total": 144, "covered": 36, "coverage": 25.0, "delta": null},
  {"date": "2026-06-07", "total": 144, "covered": 37, "coverage": 25.7, "delta": 0.69}
]

Use this to spot regressions (coverage drop = someone removed hot-trigger rows).

Rules

• Run after every brain-sync. Auto-triggered by brain-sync-complete event.
• Don't just list — prioritize. Every blind spot comes with a priority score.
• Backup before apply. The --apply mode auto-backs up to ~/.claude/.cache/skill-lens-backups/.
• Skip docs. Skills without SKILL.md are not counted (avoids framework/ repo false positives).
• Source of truth = `~/.claude/skills/`. skill-directory.md is documentation, not config.
