/skills
A Claude Code slash command, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
List available skills. Type to filter the list by name, description, or source. Press t to sort by token count, Space or Enter to cycle a skill's visibility to Claude and the / menu, and Esc to save and close. You can't cycle plugin skills, skills whose frontmatter sets disable-model-invocation: true, or skills with a skillOverrides entry in managed settings or the --settings flag
Anthropic's own wording. Read off Commands, captured 2026-09-28.

First cited
0No release's published evidence quotes this name. The ledger indexes the Evidence lines of every changelog on this site, so this says nobody here has ever quoted it; it says nothing about how old the name is.
Presence across releases
0The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the slash command does. All slash commands.
