What

Skills are packaged instructions Claude can use. A forked skill that your organization's Skills policy withholds now fails with an "Unknown skill" error. Separately, plugin install now checks your installed plugins for conflicts and stops before installing if it finds one.

Why

These are effects of policy set by an administrator, so a skill or plugin install failing may come from your organization's settings.

The writer flagged doubtIt is not clear where the Skills policy comes from or what counts as a conflict during plugin install.
