# Claude/Codex workflow usage audit (last 3 weeks)
- Window: 2026-02-26 to 2026-03-19
- Conversations analyzed: 575
- Method: rank by `skills:` frontmatter in exported conversation files. I am treating skill/session counts as the strongest signal. Explicit slash-command counts were noisy and are not the main basis for recommendations.
- Caution: this is a recency audit, not a deletion verdict. Zero in this window means "not recently evidenced," not "definitely dead."

## Skills with zero recorded use in this window
- Count: 56 of 80 tracked skill names
- I would not delete these on a 3-week window alone, but they are the best pool for a second-pass audit.
- `audit-against-plan`
- `book-review`
- `build-persona`
- `checkpoint`
- `claude-skill-to-codex`
- `codex-skill-to-claude`
- `conversation-extraction`

## Interpretation
- The live workflow looks more skill-centric than command-centric right now.
- Some items that looked dormant when treated as commands show real use when treated as skills, especially `smart-note` and `daily-note-create`.
- The best next sync targets should come from active or clearly-valued experiences, not from dormant command files considered in isolation.
## Cross-runtime parity view
### Already mirrored and actively used
- `source-work` (25)
- `epistemic-discipline` (23)
- `file-management` (21)
- `nick-analytic-voice` (21)
- `writing-standards` (21)
- `contemplate` (17)
- `twork` (15)
- `nick-philosophical-prose` (13)
- `deep-writing-mode` (4)
- `source-check` (4)
- `voice-fix` (3)
- `draft-audit` (2)
- `obsidian-bases` (2)
- `obsidian-markdown` (2)
- `recall` (2)
- `skill-creator` (2)
- `frontend-slides` (1)
- `gws-drive` (1)
- `hegelian-dialectic` (1)
- `notebooklm-adapted` (1)
### Active experiences that are not first-class skills on either side
- `log-activity` (12)
- `smart-note` (7)
- `remember` (4)
- `tasks-add` (3)
- `calendar-query` (2)
- `daily-note-create` (2)
- `gmail-search` (2)
- `evolve` (1)
- `google-tasks-sync` (1)
These are the strongest candidates for future promotion into shared, explicit workflows if you want more durable parity.
### Translate rather than clone
- `tasks-add`
The underlying experience should likely map onto `gws-tasks`, not a bespoke wrapper on each side.
- `calendar-query`
The underlying experience should likely map onto `gws-calendar` or `gws-calendar-agenda`.
- `gmail-search`
The underlying experience should likely map onto `gws-gmail`.
- `google-tasks-sync`
This looks more like a convenience workflow than a unique capability.
### Best next candidates if you want to improve parity by actual use
1. `smart-note`
2. `log-activity`
3. `remember`
4. `daily-note-create`
5. Review whether `tasks-add`, `calendar-query`, `gmail-search`, and `google-tasks-sync` need better wrappers at all, or just clearer use of the existing `gws-*` skills.
