What
The claude.ai skills listing tool no longer assumes SuggestSkills is in the model's toolset.
Details
- The prompt instructs the model to use SuggestSkills only when it is actually among its tools.
- Otherwise it should use SearchSkills and relay the relevant results in text.
Evidence
use SuggestSkills when it is among your tools; otherwise use SearchSkills and relay the relevant results in text instead.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
