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 reload when the working directory differs from the project root

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Skills

Skills reload for your launch directory when it differs from the project root, so offered skills match.

What

On startup, if the directory you launched from is not the project root, skills are loaded again for that directory and replace the existing set, so the skills on offer match where you are.

Details
  • A new helper clears the cached skill index so a reload is not served from stale data.
Evidence

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