Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Feedback Memory Skill Correction: Never Create New Skills (Except verify)

The guidance for the feedback memory (when Claude corrects a repeatable step) was tightened:

  • Previously: "Edit existing skill files rather than creating new ones (a new project skill shadows a same-named built-in skill), with one exception: if the correction is about how to verify changes in this repo and .claude/skills/verify/SKILL.md does not exist, create it."
  • Now: "Edit existing skill files only; never create one — a new project skill silently shadows a same-named built-in skill. The single exception is verify..."

The verify exception also gained guidance about scoping: the correction goes in the closest-scoped verify/SKILL.md (repo root vs. subproject), never duplicated.

Evidence

Updated feedback memory string (search for "Edit existing skill files only; never create one", "Each correction lives in exactly one skill file")

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