What probably matters to youSection of the release

tengu_saddle_lantern picks a proactive prompt; its fallback is off.

What

Two new tools are present but deferred: one shows a card of org, shared and Anthropic skills you have not enabled yet, the other shows an inline plugin install card from plugin search results. The skill tool has a proactive prompt that offers skills unprompted and a conservative one used only when you ask; the gate tengu_saddle_lantern picks between them and its built-in fallback is off, so absent a server value the conservative prompt applies.

Evidence

render addable claude.ai skills by keyword

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

tengu_saddle_lantern Gate removed from the code

This release deleted the gate from the code while it was still reading on for the account this site reads, so the code path no longer asks a flag before running.
