What
When scanning your skills directory for skills that can act as plugins, Claude Code now skips any directory that skill sync claims, including stale and pending claims, the sync-owned root directory, and hidden dot-prefixed directories. If sync's own record of what it owns cannot be read or is malformed, the entire adoption pass is skipped rather than claiming everything, until a sync round repairs it.
Evidence
[plugins] skills-dir plugin adoption skipped: sync manifest unreadable or malformed (fail-closed until a sync round repairs it)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
