When a name with a prefix was used, Claude Code used to fall back to a synced skill with the same plain name. That step has been removed. Names are now matched in this order:\n\n- Exact: the name exactly as given.\n\n- Agent prefix: the name with the agent type's prefix.\n\n- Ending: a skill whose name ends with the given name, not counting synced skills.\n\n**Why**\n\nCalling a synced skill by a prefixed name may no longer find it.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
