When a skill cannot be found, the tool now checks whether it was called under the namespace that synced skills used to have. A namespace is the prefix before the colon in a skill's name. If so, the tool suggests the skill's current full name. The usual \"did you mean\" suggestions now also consider synced skills' namespaced names. Before, only a plain spelling-based suggestion was offered.\n\nThe suggestion appears in every case. A remote setting that is off unless it is switched on remotely adds a further note to the message. The note says the skill comes from your claude.ai account and is not one that Anthropic publishes.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis points toward account-synced skills moving from the `anthropic-skills:` prefix to `claude-ai:`. Calls that use the old prefix get steered to the right name instead of simply failing.\n\n- Flag `tengu_copper_heron`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.282; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
