What

Bundled skills are the skills that ship with Claude Code. The filter that decides which ones are available used to either keep them all or keep only those on a kill switch's survivor list. It now has a further case: when a certain condition holds, bundled skills are dropped unless they are on that survivor list or fail a check on their name. Claude Code can now also mark which bundled skills this applies to.

Why

In practice, some bundled skills may not be available in some sessions.
