How It Works

Personal skills: Moved between ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ (enabled) and ~/.claude/skills/disabled/<name>/ (disabled). The disabled/INDEX.md is auto-regenerated after every operation.

Plugin skills: The enabledPlugins object in ~/.claude/settings.json is toggled. Accepts both plugin names (compound-engineering) and namespaced skill names (compound-engineering:deepen-plan)—the skill suffix is stripped and the entire plugin is toggled either way.

Collections: Named groups of skills stored as JSON in ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/collections/. Each collection lists personal skills and/or plugins that can be toggled as a unit. collection on research enables everything in the research collection; collection off research disables them. Collections are additive—turning one on only enables its skills, it doesn't disable anything outside the collection. Use collection save to snapshot your current enabled set.

Examples

# Disable two personal skills
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py disable smolvlm llama-cpp

# Enable a previously disabled skill
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py enable webflow-migrate

# Disable a plugin (all its skills go with it)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py disable agent-evaluation

# List only what's currently disabled
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py list --disabled

# Clean orphan dirs and zip files
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py clean

# Create a named collection of skills
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py collection create research academic-research ancient-near-east-research rlama exa-search linear-a-decipherment

# Snapshot all currently-enabled skills as a collection
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py collection save baseline

# Disable all skills in a collection at once
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py collection off research

# Re-enable a collection
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py collection on research

# Show what's in a collection with current status
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-toggle/scripts/skill_toggle.py collection show research
