# Remove Skills from Workflow Guide for removing skills from an existing workflow and updating all related documentation. ## When to Use - User wants to remove a skill from a workflow - User says "remove skill", "delete skill", "移除技能", "删除技能" - Cleaning up unused or deprecated skills from a workflow ## Removal Workflow ### Step 1: Identify the Skill Search for the skill name across the workflow to understand its usage: ```bash # Find all references to the skill grep -r "skill-name" /path/to/workflow/ ``` ### Step 2: Delete Skill Folder Remove the skill directory from the workflow: ```bash rm -rf /path/to/workflow/.claude/skills/skill-name/ ``` ### Step 3: Update skill-source.json (if exists) Remove the skill entry from `/path/to/workflow/.claude/skill-source.json` ### Step 4: Update All Related Documentation After removing a skill, you MUST update these files: #### Files to Update (7 files) | File | What to Update | |------|----------------| | `workflows/<workflow-name>/README.md` | Skill count, skill table, pipeline stages, skill combinations | | `workflows/<workflow-name>/README_cn.md` | Same as above (Chinese version) | | `workflows/<workflow-name>/AGENTS.md` | Available skills list, recommended sequences | | `website/content/en/workflows/<workflow>.mdx` | Skill count, skill table, pipeline, skill combinations | | `website/content/zh/workflows/<workflow>.mdx` | Same as above (Chinese version) | | `README.md` (root) | Workflow table skill count | | `README_cn.md` (root) | Workflow table skill count (Chinese version) | #### Documentation Update Checklist For each documentation file, update: - [ ] **Skill count**: Decrease the total skill count (e.g., "20 skills" → "19 skills") - [ ] **Skill tables**: Remove the skill row from any skill listing tables - [ ] **Pipeline/stages**: Remove skill references from pipeline diagrams or stage descriptions - [ ] **Skill combinations**: Remove any skill chains that include the removed skill - [ ] **Example workflows**: Remove or update examples that reference the skill ## Example Removing `ppt-creator` skill from `talk-to-slidev-workflow`: ```bash # 1. Search for references grep -r "ppt-creator" workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/ # 2. Delete skill folder rm -rf workflows/talk-to-slidev-workflow/.claude/skills/ppt-creator/ # 3. Update skill-source.json # Remove the ppt-creator entry # 4. Update documentation files # - Update skill count from 20 to 19 # - Remove ppt-creator from skill tables # - Remove from pipeline Stage 6 # - Remove from skill combinations table ``` ## Important Notes - Always search for skill references before removal to understand impact - The root READMEs only need skill count updates in the workflow table - Leave `references/skill-sources.md` unchanged (it documents ecosystem skills, not workflow-specific installations) - If the skill is referenced in example workflows, either remove the example or update it to use alternative skills
