157157#### Discovery from parent and nested directories

159Project skills load from `.claude/skills/` in the directory where you start Claude Code and in every parent directory up to the repository root. Starting Claude in a subdirectory still picks up skills defined at the root. To load skills from a directory outside that path at startup, pass it with [`--add-dir`](/docs/en/cli-reference). Claude Code reads `.claude/skills/` inside each added directory alongside the project skills.

Claude Code reads `.claude/skills/` inside each added directory alongside the project skills. When you [move the session with `/cd`](/docs/en/permissions#move-the-session-to-another-directory) on v2.1.246 or later, Claude Code adds the new directory's project skills.

161161Skills in nested `.claude/skills/` directories below your starting directory aren't loaded at startup. They load the first time Claude reads or edits a file inside that subdirectory, and stay available for the rest of the session. For example, after Claude edits a file under `packages/frontend/`, skills in `packages/frontend/.claude/skills/` become available. Until then, those skills don't appear in autocomplete and can't be invoked by name.
