Skills held back by the host are now told apart from other blocked skills

When a skill is held back by the host's skill catalog, Claude Code now records that reason separately; you still see 'Unknown skill'

Unclear Which skills the host catalog holds back is not known.

What

Skills are packaged instructions Claude can load for a task. Claude Code already refused some skills that came from syncing, and that refusal now covers a wider group of skills. When a skill is held back by the host's catalog of skills, the usage data Claude Code records now gives that as its own reason instead of the general one for synced skills.

What you see does not change: the skill is still reported as "Unknown skill".

Why

This mostly changes what is recorded, and which skills can be used where.
