Skills from your claude.ai account can load as a source, but only if you set the sync env var.

Account skill sync is fully wired behind CLAUDE_CODE_SYNC_SKILLS, unset by default.

What

Skills can now come from your claude.ai account as a first-class source alongside local, bundled and plugin skills. Fetching them is off unless you set CLAUDE_CODE_SYNC_SKILLS, or set CLAUDE_CODE_SYNC_SESSION_REFS with a session id latched in CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID. Neither the source label nor the provenance value exists in 2.1.227.

Details
  • The /skills picker groups them under a new source label claude.ai sync, and their descriptions carry a (claude.ai sync) suffix.
  • They are deduplicated against local skills, take part in shadowing and name-collision handling, and are excluded from the bundled and plugin filters.
  • The skills UI gained a separate never-invoked warning for them.
  • If reconciling them against MCP-provided commands throws, the loader drops the synced skills rather than failing the load.
  • In 2.1.227 the sync directory existed but its contents were never loaded.
