Source Intelligence

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.

Skills Notable not in their notes

Skills can now load from a syncedSkills folder and show up labelled "synced" in your commands.

syncedSkills
What

The skill loader now makes a second pass over your user settings directory, loading skills from syncedSkills alongside the usual skills. Skills from there are labelled "synced" as their owner in the skill list and in / command entries.

Details
  • Each skill records where it was loaded from
  • Synced skills have their display name and argument hint sanitized, and any fallback value cleared
  • A pruning routine removes dynamic and conditional skills that came from syncedSkills once they disappear from the synced set
  • The loading path is live; what populates the syncedSkills directory is not decided by anything in this build

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