 Yes. ECC is cross-platform:
 - **Cursor**: Pre-translated configs in `.cursor/`. See [Cursor IDE Support](#cursor-ide-support).
 - **OpenCode**: Full plugin support in `.opencode/`. See [OpenCode Support](#-opencode-support).

+description: Extract reusable patterns from the session, self-evaluate quality before saving, and determine the right save location (Global vs Project).
+---
+
+# /learn-eval - Extract, Evaluate, then Save
+
+Extends `/learn` with a quality gate and save-location decision before writing any skill file.
+
+## What to Extract
+
+Look for:
+
+1. **Error Resolution Patterns** — root cause + fix + reusability
+2. **Debugging Techniques** — non-obvious steps, tool combinations
+3. **Workarounds** — library quirks, API limitations, version-specific fixes
+4. **Project-Specific Patterns** — conventions, architecture decisions, integration patterns
+
+## Process
+
+1. Review the session for extractable patterns
+2. Identify the most valuable/reusable insight
+
+3. **Determine save location:**
+   - Ask: "Would this pattern be useful in a different project?"
+   - **Global** (`~/.claude/skills/learned/`): Generic patterns usable across 2+ projects (bash compatibility, LLM API behavior, debugging techniques, etc.)
+   - **Project** (`.claude/skills/learned/` in current project): Project-specific knowledge (quirks of a particular config file, project-specific architecture decisions, etc.)
+   - When in doubt, choose Global (moving Global → Project is easier than the reverse)
+
+4. Draft the skill file using this format:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: pattern-name
+description: "Under 130 characters"
+user-invocable: false
+origin: auto-extracted
+---
+
+# [Descriptive Pattern Name]
+
+**Extracted:** [Date]
+**Context:** [Brief description of when this applies]
+
+## Problem
+[What problem this solves - be specific]
+
+## Solution
+[The pattern/technique/workaround - with code examples]
+
+## When to Use
+[Trigger conditions]
+```
+
+5. **Self-evaluate before saving** using this rubric:
+
+   | Dimension | 1 | 3 | 5 |
+   |-----------|---|---|---|
+   | Specificity | Abstract principles only, no code examples | Representative code example present | Rich examples covering all usage patterns |
+   | Actionability | Unclear what to do | Main steps are understandable | Immediately actionable, edge cases covered |
+   | Scope Fit | Too broad or too narrow | Mostly appropriate, some boundary ambiguity | Name, trigger, and content perfectly aligned |
+   | Non-redundancy | Nearly identical to another skill | Some overlap but unique perspective exists | Completely unique value |
+   | Coverage | Covers only a fraction of the target task | Main cases covered, common variants missing | Main cases, edge cases, and pitfalls covered |
+
+   - Score each dimension 1–5
+   - If any dimension scores 1–2, improve the draft and re-score until all dimensions are ≥ 3
+   - Show the user the scores table and the final draft
+
+6. Ask user to confirm:
+   - Show: proposed save path + scores table + final draft
+   - Wait for explicit confirmation before writing
+
+7. Save to the determined location
+
+## Output Format for Step 5 (scores table)
+
+| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
+|-----------|-------|-----------|
+| Specificity | N/5 | ... |
+| Actionability | N/5 | ... |
+| Scope Fit | N/5 | ... |
+| Non-redundancy | N/5 | ... |
+| Coverage | N/5 | ... |
+| **Total** | **N/25** | |
+
+## Notes
+
+- Don't extract trivial fixes (typos, simple syntax errors)
+- Don't extract one-time issues (specific API outages, etc.)
+- Focus on patterns that will save time in future sessions
+- Keep skills focused — one pattern per skill
+- If Coverage score is low, add related variants before saving

+Systematizes the "search for existing solutions before implementing" workflow.
+
+## Trigger
+
+Use this skill when:
+- Starting a new feature that likely has existing solutions
+- Adding a dependency or integration
+- The user asks "add X functionality" and you're about to write code
+- Before creating a new utility, helper, or abstraction

+## Decision Matrix
+
+| Signal | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| Exact match, well-maintained, MIT/Apache | **Adopt** — install and use directly |
+| Partial match, good foundation | **Extend** — install + write thin wrapper |
+| Multiple weak matches | **Compose** — combine 2-3 small packages |
+| Nothing suitable found | **Build** — write custom, but informed by research |
+
+## How to Use
+
+### Quick Mode (inline)
+
+Before writing a utility or adding functionality, mentally run through:
+
+1. Is this a common problem? → Search npm/PyPI
+2. Is there an MCP for this? → Check `~/.claude/settings.json` and search
+3. Is there a skill for this? → Check `~/.claude/skills/`
+4. Is there a GitHub template? → Search GitHub
+
+### Full Mode (agent)
+
+For non-trivial functionality, launch the researcher agent:
+
+```
+Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="
+  Research existing tools for: [DESCRIPTION]
+  Language/framework: [LANG]
+  Constraints: [ANY]
+
+  Search: npm/PyPI, MCP servers, Claude Code skills, GitHub
+  Return: Structured comparison with recommendation
+")
+```
+
+## Search Shortcuts by Category
+
+### Development Tooling
+- Linting → `eslint`, `ruff`, `textlint`, `markdownlint`
+- Formatting → `prettier`, `black`, `gofmt`
+- Testing → `jest`, `pytest`, `go test`
+- Pre-commit → `husky`, `lint-staged`, `pre-commit`
+
+### AI/LLM Integration
+- Claude SDK → Context7 for latest docs
+- Prompt management → Check MCP servers
+- Document processing → `unstructured`, `pdfplumber`, `mammoth`
+
+### Data & APIs
+- HTTP clients → `httpx` (Python), `ky`/`got` (Node)
+- Validation → `zod` (TS), `pydantic` (Python)
+- Database → Check for MCP servers first
+
+### Content & Publishing
+- Markdown processing → `remark`, `unified`, `markdown-it`
+- Image optimization → `sharp`, `imagemin`
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With planner agent
+The planner should invoke researcher before Phase 1 (Architecture Review):
+- Researcher identifies available tools
+- Planner incorporates them into the implementation plan
+- Avoids "reinventing the wheel" in the plan
+
+### With architect agent
+The architect should consult researcher for:
+- Technology stack decisions
+- Integration pattern discovery
+- Existing reference architectures
+
+### With iterative-retrieval skill
+Combine for progressive discovery:
+- Cycle 1: Broad search (npm, PyPI, MCP)
+- Cycle 2: Evaluate top candidates in detail
+- Cycle 3: Test compatibility with project constraints
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: "Add dead link checking"
+```
+Need: Check markdown files for broken links
+Search: npm "markdown dead link checker"
+Found: textlint-rule-no-dead-link (score: 9/10)
+Action: ADOPT — npm install textlint-rule-no-dead-link
+Result: Zero custom code, battle-tested solution
+```
+
+### Example 2: "Add HTTP client wrapper"
+```
+Need: Resilient HTTP client with retries and timeout handling
+Search: npm "http client retry", PyPI "httpx retry"
+Found: got (Node) with retry plugin, httpx (Python) with built-in retry
+Action: ADOPT — use got/httpx directly with retry config
+Result: Zero custom code, production-proven libraries
+```
+
+### Example 3: "Add config file linter"
+```
+Need: Validate project config files against a schema
+Search: npm "config linter schema", "json schema validator cli"
+Found: ajv-cli (score: 8/10)
+Action: ADOPT + EXTEND — install ajv-cli, write project-specific schema
+Result: 1 package + 1 schema file, no custom validation logic
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- **Jumping to code**: Writing a utility without checking if one exists
+- **Ignoring MCP**: Not checking if an MCP server already provides the capability
+- **Over-customizing**: Wrapping a library so heavily it loses its benefits
+- **Dependency bloat**: Installing a massive package for one small feature

+---
+
+# skill-stocktake
+
+Slash command (`/skill-stocktake`) that audits all Claude skills and commands using a quality checklist + AI holistic judgment. Supports two modes: Quick Scan for recently changed skills, and Full Stocktake for a complete review.
+
+## Scope
+
+The command targets the following paths **relative to the directory where it is invoked**:
+
+| Path | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `~/.claude/skills/` | Global skills (all projects) |
+| `{cwd}/.claude/skills/` | Project-level skills (if the directory exists) |
+
+**At the start of Phase 1, the command explicitly lists which paths were found and scanned.**
+
+### Targeting a specific project
+
+To include project-level skills, run from that project's root directory:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/path/to/my-project
+/skill-stocktake
+```
+
+If the project has no `.claude/skills/` directory, only global skills and commands are evaluated.
+
+## Modes
+
+| Mode | Trigger | Duration |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| Quick Scan | `results.json` exists (default) | 5–10 min |
+| Full Stocktake | `results.json` absent, or `/skill-stocktake full` | 20–30 min |
+
+**Results cache:** `~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/results.json`
+
+## Quick Scan Flow
+
+Re-evaluate only skills that have changed since the last run (5–10 min).
+
+1. Read `~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/results.json`
+2. Run: `bash ~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/scripts/quick-diff.sh \
+         ~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/results.json`
+   (Project dir is auto-detected from `$PWD/.claude/skills`; pass it explicitly only if needed)
+3. If output is `[]`: report "No changes since last run." and stop
+4. Re-evaluate only those changed files using the same Phase 2 criteria
+5. Carry forward unchanged skills from previous results
+6. Output only the diff
+7. Run: `bash ~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/scripts/save-results.sh \
+         ~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/results.json <<< "$EVAL_RESULTS"`
+
+## Full Stocktake Flow
+
+### Phase 1 — Inventory
+
+Run: `bash ~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/scripts/scan.sh`
+
+The script enumerates skill files, extracts frontmatter, and collects UTC mtimes.
+Project dir is auto-detected from `$PWD/.claude/skills`; pass it explicitly only if needed.
+Present the scan summary and inventory table from the script output:
+
+```
+Scanning:
+  ✓ ~/.claude/skills/         (17 files)
+  ✗ {cwd}/.claude/skills/    (not found — global skills only)
+```
+
+| Skill | 7d use | 30d use | Description |
+|-------|--------|---------|-------------|
+
+### Phase 2 — Quality Evaluation
+
+Launch a Task tool subagent (**Explore agent, model: opus**) with the full inventory and checklist.
+The subagent reads each skill, applies the checklist, and returns per-skill JSON:
+
+`{ "verdict": "Keep"|"Improve"|"Update"|"Retire"|"Merge into [X]", "reason": "..." }`
+
+**Chunk guidance:** Process ~20 skills per subagent invocation to keep context manageable. Save intermediate results to `results.json` (`status: "in_progress"`) after each chunk.
+
+After all skills are evaluated: set `status: "completed"`, proceed to Phase 3.
+
+**Resume detection:** If `status: "in_progress"` is found on startup, resume from the first unevaluated skill.
+
+Each skill is evaluated against this checklist:
+
+```
+- [ ] Content overlap with other skills checked
+- [ ] Overlap with MEMORY.md / CLAUDE.md checked
+- [ ] Freshness of technical references verified (use WebSearch if tool names / CLI flags / APIs are present)
+- [ ] Usage frequency considered
+```
+
+Verdict criteria:
+
+| Verdict | Meaning |
+|---------|---------|
+| Keep | Useful and current |
+| Improve | Worth keeping, but specific improvements needed |
+| Update | Referenced technology is outdated (verify with WebSearch) |
+| Retire | Low quality, stale, or cost-asymmetric |
+| Merge into [X] | Substantial overlap with another skill; name the merge target |
+
+Evaluation is **holistic AI judgment** — not a numeric rubric. Guiding dimensions:
+- **Actionability**: code examples, commands, or steps that let you act immediately
+- **Scope fit**: name, trigger, and content are aligned; not too broad or narrow
+- **Uniqueness**: value not replaceable by MEMORY.md / CLAUDE.md / another skill
+- **Currency**: technical references work in the current environment
+
+**Reason quality requirements** — the `reason` field must be self-contained and decision-enabling:
+- Do NOT write "unchanged" alone — always restate the core evidence
+- For **Retire**: state (1) what specific defect was found, (2) what covers the same need instead
+  - Bad: `"Superseded"`
+  - Good: `"disable-model-invocation: true already set; superseded by continuous-learning-v2 which covers all the same patterns plus confidence scoring. No unique content remains."`
+- For **Merge**: name the target and describe what content to integrate
+  - Bad: `"Overlaps with X"`
+  - Good: `"42-line thin content; Step 4 of chatlog-to-article already covers the same workflow. Integrate the 'article angle' tip as a note in that skill."`
+- For **Improve**: describe the specific change needed (what section, what action, target size if relevant)
+  - Bad: `"Too long"`
+  - Good: `"276 lines; Section 'Framework Comparison' (L80–140) duplicates ai-era-architecture-principles; delete it to reach ~150 lines."`
+- For **Keep** (mtime-only change in Quick Scan): restate the original verdict rationale, do not write "unchanged"
+  - Bad: `"Unchanged"`
+  - Good: `"mtime updated but content unchanged. Unique Python reference explicitly imported by rules/python/; no overlap found."`
+
+### Phase 3 — Summary Table
+
+| Skill | 7d use | Verdict | Reason |
+|-------|--------|---------|--------|
+
+### Phase 4 — Consolidation
+
+1. **Retire / Merge**: present detailed justification per file before confirming with user:
+   - What specific problem was found (overlap, staleness, broken references, etc.)
+   - What alternative covers the same functionality (for Retire: which existing skill/rule; for Merge: the target file and what content to integrate)
+   - Impact of removal (any dependent skills, MEMORY.md references, or workflows affected)
+2. **Improve**: present specific improvement suggestions with rationale:
+   - What to change and why (e.g., "trim 430→200 lines because sections X/Y duplicate python-patterns")
+   - User decides whether to act
+3. **Update**: present updated content with sources checked
+4. Check MEMORY.md line count; propose compression if >100 lines
+
+## Results File Schema
+
+`~/.claude/skills/skill-stocktake/results.json`:
+
+**`evaluated_at`**: Must be set to the actual UTC time of evaluation completion.
+Obtain via Bash: `date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`. Never use a date-only approximation like `T00:00:00Z`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "evaluated_at": "2026-02-21T10:00:00Z",
+  "mode": "full",
+  "batch_progress": {
+    "total": 80,
+    "evaluated": 80,
+    "status": "completed"
+  },
+  "skills": {
+    "skill-name": {
+      "path": "~/.claude/skills/skill-name/SKILL.md",
+      "verdict": "Keep",
+      "reason": "Concrete, actionable, unique value for X workflow",
+      "mtime": "2026-01-15T08:30:00Z"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Evaluation is blind: the same checklist applies to all skills regardless of origin (ECC, self-authored, auto-extracted)
+- Archive / delete operations always require explicit user confirmation
+- No verdict branching by skill origin
