What it does
Proposes which new skills to build from work history and frustration signals; read-only, it hands a ranked shortlist to CreateSkill. USE WHEN should I create a skill, what skills do I need, suggest skills, skill gap, based on my recent work, am I missing a skill, what should I build. NOT FOR creating, validating, or optimizing an individual skill (CreateSkill).
SuggestSkills, what should I build next?
A read-only analytics pass over your own work. It answers one question: given what you have actually been doing and where you have been frustrated, is there a recurring problem that deserves its own skill and does not have one yet? It proposes; you decide; CreateSkill builds. It has no capability to create or edit a skill, by design.
Ideal State
- Every proposal on the shortlist traces to recorded evidence (sessions, Errata frustration rows, skill-gap detections) from one tool-built corpus, so a second run over the same window judges the same evidence.
- Gaps hiding under nominally covered topics surface: frustration outweighs topic frequency, and coverage means the discipline is handled, not that a topic shares a keyword.
- The pass stays read-only: no skill is created or edited, and an accepted proposal reaches CreateSkill only as a separate, human-approved step.

Data & Config
The skill reads no config file. Tools/CollectSignals.ts takes everything from flags and env vars, and each store resolves flag > env > the first conventional default that exists under the root:
- Root:
--root <dir>, elseSKILLSCAN_MEMORY_ROOT, else$HOME/.claude. - Window and cut:
--days <n>(default 45, 1-3650) and--max-rating <n>(default 4, 1-10). - Stores:
--ratings <dir>/SKILLSCAN_RATINGS_FILE(the Errata ledger directory),--work <dir>/SKILLSCAN_WORK_DIR,--skill-gaps <file>/SKILLSCAN_SKILL_GAPS_FILE,--skills <dir>/SKILLSCAN_SKILLS_DIR, and--loops <dir>/SKILLSCAN_LOOPS_DIR(opt-in, no default).
The full flag table is in Intents/Scan.md § Tool contract.
