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 run as commands no longer pin a model or effort level

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal2
Skills

Skills run as slash commands now inherit your session's model and effort instead of overriding them.

What

When a skill is invoked as a slash command, the invocation no longer sets its own model and reasoning effort. It inherits whatever the session is already using instead of overriding it.

Details
  • The previous values came from the skill's own effort resolution and a default-effort fallback; both fields are gone from that branch.
Evidence

disallowedTools: xI(e.disallowedTools ?? []),

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