Claude Code's own bundled skills and commands are now flagged so name clashes with user or plugin ones resolve predictably

What

  • The reload_skills response the CLI sends now includes a builtin: true field on each skill entry whose resolved name matches one of Claude Code's own bundled skills.
  • The schema describing an available skill or command gained an optional builtin boolean, true only for Claude Code's own built-in commands, used to decide which command a bare /name invocation runs when a user, project, plugin, and MCP command all share the same name.

Why

This removes ambiguity when a skill or command name collides with one of Claude Code's own: it's now possible to tell that a /name invocation is running the built-in version rather than a same-named user, project, plugin, or MCP one.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up builtin, on Telemetry and egress. | Web Fetch domain check in [Code](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/code) sessions | The hostname of each page Claude Code fetches, sent to `api.anthropic.com` before the fetch. See [Web Fetch](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/web-tools#we… third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry see the edit
