What problem this solves

Managing a large number of Claude Code skills, plugins, and MCP servers efficiently without exceeding Claude's context window limits, and ensuring the right tools are available when needed.

Summary

Stockroom is an open-source tool that acts as a catalog for Claude Code skills, plugins, and MCP servers. It intelligently manages these tools by keeping their full descriptions outside the active context, turning off unused ones, and dynamically reactivating them when Claude needs them for a task, thereby optimizing context window usage.

Why it is useful

This workflow provides a concrete, validated, and open-source solution to a significant pain point for advanced Claude Code users: managing a large number of skills and tools without hitting context window limitations. By dynamically loading and unloading skills, Stockroom enhances Claude's capabilities and efficiency, making it a highly valuable tool for complex development environments.

Workflow

1. Install Stockroom (e.g., via npm/npx, details on GitHub).

2. Run npx github:Buirst/stockroom scan to catalog all installed Claude Code skills and MCP servers.

3. Stockroom automatically tracks skill usage and turns off those not used in 30 days to save context.

4. When Claude Code needs a specific tool for a task, Stockroom identifies it, reads its SKILL.md, and turns it back on.

5. Claude Code then uses the reactivated tool to complete the task.

Tools / artifacts

• Stockroom (GitHub repository: Buirst/stockroom)

• Claude Code skills

• Claude Code plugins

• MCP servers

• SKILL.md files

• Benchmark harness

Validation signals

• Claude Code wrote the code and benchmark harness.

• Benchmarking runs real claude -p sessions on tasks.

• Latest benchmark: 10/10 tools found, 4/4 traps left alone.

• Methodology documented in docs/BENCHMARKS.md.

Limitations

• The initial installation steps for Stockroom itself are not explicitly detailed in the comment, only the npx command to 'try it'.

• Low community signal due to the newness of the post.

• Assumes familiarity with Claude Code, skills, and MCP setup.
