DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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.

What
Calling the prototype skill yourself now marks prototype mode as started, as invoking it any other way already did. This does not happen when the skill is only being preloaded or when the model scheduled the invocation itself.
Evidence

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