health-audit

/health:audit

Audit the project's enabled plugins against the actual technology stack. Identifies plugins that don't apply to this project and suggests relevant plugins that aren't enabled.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use another approach when...
Reviewing plugin relevance for current project	General health diagnostics (use /health:check)
Cleaning up unused plugins	Plugin registry corruption (use /health:plugins --fix)
Discovering relevant plugins for tech stack	Agentic optimization audit (use /health:agentic-audit)
Optimizing project-specific plugin configuration	Installing specific plugin (install directly)
Onboarding to existing project	Need comprehensive settings validation

Context

• Current project: !pwd
• Project settings exists: !find .claude -maxdepth 1 -name 'settings.json'
• Package.json exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'package.json'
• Cargo.toml exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'Cargo.toml'
• pyproject.toml exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'pyproject.toml'
• requirements.txt exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'requirements.txt'
• go.mod exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'go.mod'
• Dockerfile exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'Dockerfile'
• docker-compose exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'docker-compose.yml' -o -name 'docker-compose.yaml' -o -name 'compose.yml' -o -name 'compose.yaml' \)
• GitHub workflows: !find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 -name '*.yml' -quit -print
• Terraform files: !find . -maxdepth 2 -name '*.tf' -quit -print
• Kubernetes manifests: !find . -maxdepth 3 \( -path '*/k8s/*' -o -path '*/kubernetes/*' \) -name '*.yaml' -quit -print

Parameters

Parameter	Description
--fix	Apply recommended changes to .claude/settings.json
--dry-run	Show what would be changed without modifying files
--verbose	Show detailed analysis of each plugin decision

Execution

Execute this plugin relevance audit:

Step 1: Detect the project technology stack

Analyze project files from the context above to determine the technology stack. Match indicators against the tech stack mapping in REFERENCE.md.

Step 2: Retrieve available plugins

Run claude plugin list --json to get all available plugins from configured marketplaces. Parse the output for plugin name, description, keywords, and category.

Step 3: Read currently enabled plugins

Read .claude/settings.json and extract the enabledPlugins array. If the file does not exist or enabledPlugins is not set, treat as empty list.

Step 4: Analyze plugin relevance

Compare each enabled plugin against the detected tech stack. Use the plugin relevance mapping in REFERENCE.md to determine which plugins are relevant, irrelevant, or missing.

Categorize each plugin as:

• RELEVANT -- matches detected tech stack
• NOT RELEVANT -- no matching indicators found
• MISSING -- relevant plugin not currently enabled

Step 5: Generate the audit report

Print a structured report covering:

1. Detected technology stack with evidence
2. Currently enabled plugins with relevance status
3. Suggested plugins to add (with reasons)
4. Suggested plugins to remove (with reasons)
5. Summary counts

Step 6: Apply changes (if --fix)

When --fix is passed:

1. Back up current settings: cp .claude/settings.json .claude/settings.json.backup
2. Ask for confirmation before each category of changes (removals, additions)
3. Update .claude/settings.json -- remove confirmed irrelevant plugins, add confirmed relevant plugins, preserve other settings
4. Verify changes by re-reading the file, confirming valid JSON, and showing the diff

User-Level vs Project-Level

Note: This command only manages project-level plugin settings in .claude/settings.json.

User-level plugins (in ~/.claude/settings.json) are managed separately and don't need duplication at project level.

When analyzing, check if a plugin is already enabled at user level:

jq -r '.enabledPlugins[]? // empty' ~/.claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null

If a plugin is enabled at user level, it doesn't need to be in project settings unless you want project-specific behavior.

Edge Cases

Scenario	Behavior
No .claude/settings.json	Create it with recommended plugins
Empty enabledPlugins	Suggest adding relevant plugins
Monorepo with multiple languages	Suggest all matching plugins
Plugin not in marketplace	Flag as "unknown" but don't remove
User declined changes	Respect decision, show manual instructions

Agentic Optimizations

Context	Command
Plugin relevance audit	/health:audit
Audit with auto-fix	/health:audit --fix
Dry-run mode	/health:audit --dry-run
List enabled plugins	jq -r '.enabledPlugins[]? // empty' .claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null
Detect project languages	find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'package.json' -o -name 'Cargo.toml' -o -name 'pyproject.toml' \) -exec basename {} \;

Flags

Flag	Description
--fix	Apply recommended changes (with confirmation)
--dry-run	Show what would be changed without modifying
--verbose	Show detailed reasoning for each decision
