What
When Claude Code prunes synced skills that are no longer part of the active set, it now strips an anthropic-skills: prefix from a skill's stored name, via a helper function, before comparing it against the current set of active skills.
Why
Without stripping this prefix, a skill's stored name and its current name might not match even though they refer to the same skill, which could cause it to be incorrectly kept or removed. This fix makes the comparison work correctly for skills carrying that prefix.
