Unclear The exact name synced skills showed under before is not known.
Skills synced from your account now always show under the anthropic-skills: prefix, for example anthropic-skills:<name>, unless the name already starts with it. A synced skill that has its own separate name override keeps that name. Before, the name was usually left as it was.
When local or plugin skills fail to load, the debug log now says synced skills answer only to anthropic-skills:<name> for that session, because their bare names cannot be checked for clashes.
The slash-command names you see and type for synced skills may be different, so check for the prefix if a skill seems to be missing.
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.

The exact name synced skills showed under before is not known.
Anthropic's documentation has since written up anthropic-skills:, on Extend Claude with skills.
