Skill Directory Scoping

What

Skills can now be scoped to a specific directory subtree. When a scoped and unscoped variant of the same skill exist, the Skill tool picks the most-specific matching directory.

Details
  • Skill names with a directory scope appear as apps/web:deploy (directory prefix + colon + skill name)
  • The Skill tool prompt now instructs the model: "When a skill name has both a scoped and an unscoped variant, pick by the files you are working on: if the files are under a variant's directory, invoke that variant (most specific directory wins)"
  • Marketplace plugin entries can declare specific skill subdirectory paths relative to the plugin root
Evidence

Skill tool prompt update (search for "Some skills are scoped to a directory", "most specific directory wins"); plugin schema (search for "Path to a skill directory, relative to the plugin root")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
