Unclear What skillDir and bareNameReserved are used for is not stated in the finding.

What

The internal record Claude Code keeps for each skill (a packaged set of instructions for a task) now tracks two additional fields: skillDir, alongside the existing skillRoot, and bareNameReserved, alongside the existing unqualifiedName and urlTemplate.

Why

The finding doesn't explain what these fields are used for, only that skill records now carry this additional bookkeeping.
