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 Deduplication Changed from Inode to File-Based

The skill deduplication mechanism has changed from inode-based comparison (which relied on filesystem-level identity via inodes, symlinks, or hard links) to file-based comparison. Debug messages now say "same file" instead of "same inode". This likely improves compatibility across different filesystem types and platforms.

Evidence

Skill dedup logging (search for "skills (same file)")

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