What
A skill is a packaged set of instructions Claude Code can load. You can override a skill, for example to switch it on or off. Synced skills are skills kept in step with another source.
Changes to how overrides work:
- Claude Code now also looks up a synced skill's override under other spellings of its name, not only its main name.
- Setting an override from the skill's detail view saves it under the skill's main name and removes older entries saved under other spellings.
- When looking up an override, Claude Code skips settings sources that are not enabled.
Why
An override saved for a synced skill under an older name may not have been found before, so it could have had no effect.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear what the other spellings of a synced skill's name are in practice.
