Unclear The exact effect of detecting this nested case (for example, skipping or merging) is not stated in the finding.

What

Before Claude Code logs which skill directories it's loading from, it now runs an extra check against the project's skill directories and its "skills" configuration setting. This appears to detect whether a project's skills directory is actually located inside another project's already-loaded .claude configuration directory.

Why

This likely helps avoid loading the same skills twice or getting confused when one project's skills folder is nested inside another project's configuration directory.
