What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear It is not clear how or where a folder gets attached.
What
A skill is a packaged set of instructions Claude Code can load. This release prepares for skills that come from an attached folder:
Listing: the skill listing filter now accepts skills whose loadedFrom is attachedFolder, treating them like skills, syncedSkills, plugin and bundled skills.
attachedFolderSkills slot: a new field is read and added to the skill list, but nothing in Claude Code sets it. Unless something outside Claude Code fills it, it always adds nothing.
Unreadable paths: when looking up a file path fails for a reason other than ENOENT (the file does not exist), the result now carries unreadable: true unless the error code is in a known set. Before, it held only an error message.
Why
Skills from attached folders can be listed the same way as other skills once something supplies them. In this build the slot meant to provide them stays empty, so nothing changes yet for most people.
