Overview

This skill audits active plugins in a Claude Cowork setup, producing a table with recommendations to keep or disable each plugin. It reduces token usage and cognitive noise by comparing installed plugins against the user's workflow, identifying idle or redundant plugins, and providing a qualitative estimate of potential token savings. The user inputs their role and workflow description, a list of installed plugins, and optionally a project context file. The output includes a keep/disable table, plugin category recommendations, rationale, and a summary of keep/disabled counts and estimated token savings.
