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.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are effects of policy set by an administrator, so a skill or plugin install failing may come from your organization's settings.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
