What
Skills are reusable instructions Claude can load. skillOverrides is the setting that hides or collapses a skill without editing it. For skills synced from claude.ai, Claude Code now looks up an override under the skill's name and one other key only. Before, it tried several possible keys.
Why
An override saved under an older key may no longer apply. If a synced skill you had hidden or collapsed reappears, set the override again.
