They are now identified by an `anthropic-skills:<name>` identifier instead, with matching logic to strip that prefix back off when needed.\n\n**Why**\n\nSynced skills can have bare names that aren't guaranteed to be unique, so they can't be safely checked for naming collisions the way local skills are. Giving them a qualified `anthropic-skills:` identifier avoids that ambiguity.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Names: `anthropic-skills:`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
