Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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

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
