skill-concierge:keep-on

skill-concierge keep-on

Curate the always-ON allowlist — the skills kept fully described in every turn's context. Every skill NOT on this list is "name-only" (just its name is injected; its description is retrieved on demand via search). The allowlist lives at ~/.claude/skill-concierge/keep-on.json — the canonical durable home, seeded once from the plugin's shipped default config/keep-on.json and preserved across /plugin update. This skill is the seamless surface for reading and editing it.

The autonomous session-start reconcile (hooks/scripts/auto_overrides.py) keeps settings.json in sync with the installed catalogue on its own. This skill is for changing the policy — which skills you want always-on — not for fixing drift (that self-heals).

Steps

1. View the current always-on set:

   python3 "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/keep-on.py" list
   

2. Add skill(s) to always-on — it reconciles settings.json immediately:

   python3 "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/keep-on.py" add <skill-name> [<skill-name> ...]
   

3. Remove skill(s) from always-on:

   python3 "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/keep-on.py" remove <skill-name> [<skill-name> ...]
   

Names must be catalogue-namespaced

Skill names are as the index knows them — plugin skills carry their namespace (ck:plan, superpowers:brainstorming, skill-concierge:doctor); bare skills are just their name (skill-search, come-clean). Copy the exact name from keep-on.py list or a search_skills result. An unknown name is stored but simply never matches a discovered skill (apply-overrides reports it as "not present on this machine").

Notes

• Takes effect next session. add/remove rewrite the allowlist (~/.claude/skill-concierge/keep-on.json, which survives /plugin update) and re-apply the overrides to ~/.claude/settings.json (backed up first). Claude Code reads settings.json at session start, so a new always-on set applies on the next session.
• Don't remove the router. Removing skill-search / skill-concierge:skill-search makes the retriever entry point name-only — retrieval degrades. The script warns if you do.
• This is policy, not maintenance. Drift between the catalogue and settings.json heals itself (auto_overrides); use this skill only to change which skills you want always-on.
