for root, dirs, files in os.walk(skill_path):
    for file in files:
        if file.endswith('.txt'):
            filepath = os.path.join(root, file)
            print(f"Found: {filepath}")
            
            # Read file content
            with open(filepath, 'r', errors='ignore') as f:
                content = f.read().splitlines()
                print(f"  Lines: {len(content)}")
