With the gate `tengu_saddle_lantern` off, which is the built-in fallback, it only fires when you explicitly ask for recommendations; with it on, a longer prompt applies and Claude offers skills proactively without being asked. Nothing in this build sets the flag, so whether it is on is decided by server config.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The same gate is what the whole skills and plugins tool family checks, covering search, list, and install-suggestion tools.\n- The gate is bypassed entirely when `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE` is set.\n- The flag itself is not new; what is new is that this whole tool set now hangs off it.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`tengu_saddle_lantern`\n\n- Flag `tengu_saddle_lantern`: Gate removed from the code (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.248; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: not a boolean we can read)\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
