What
The search box in the /skills settings dialog now has dedicated focus and blur tracking, using a real reference to the underlying input element. The list-selection and 'no changes' accept/back actions now check whether the search box itself is focused before acting on a keypress. The keyboard shortcuts for accepting a selection, declining confirmation, and sorting by token count are now always active, rather than only active based on a separate local focus-tracking flag.
Why
This should make keyboard behavior in the /skills dialog more reliable, so shortcuts like accepting a selection or sorting by token count work consistently and don't get confused by whether the search box happens to have focus.
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.
Added sinceA small documentation edit on Run agents in parallel touched a line naming /skills after this was published.* [`/batch`](/docs/en/commands) is a [skill](/docs/en/skills) that has Claude split one large change into 5 to 30 worktree-isolated subagents. It's a packaged use of subagents and worktrees, not a separate coordination style.agentssee the edit
Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up /skills, on Claude Code changelog.* Added a scrollbar to the `/skills`, `/mcp` and `/plugin` Installed lists in fullscreen mode, like the one `/workflows` now has: it appears while the mouse is over the list and can be clicked or draggedchangelogsee the edit
