Unclear It is not clear how a catalog is supplied, so whether a reader can use this is unknown.
What
Skills are packaged instructions Claude Code can load to handle particular tasks. The part of Claude Code that loads them can now be given a catalog, which is a list of skills. When it is, Claude Code loads only the skill folders in that catalog, and only those that contain a SKILL.md file. Skills loaded this way are marked as coming from the host's catalog.
Why
This lets the program hosting Claude Code decide which skills are available.
