Under the hood

A new function can explicitly clear the cache of indexed Skills

What

A small new function was added that clears the cached skill index, the in-memory list Claude Code keeps of available Skills.

Why

Having an explicit way to clear this cache lets Claude Code force a fresh read of available Skills when needed, rather than relying on stale cached data.
