When Claude Code sets them up, it can now use a zip file of them that is already mounted from the host machine instead of always downloading it. If that copy is missing or fails, Claude Code logs it and downloads the zip as before.\n\n**Why**\n\nCloud or managed machines that already have the skills zip can skip the download.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
