Unclear It is not stated under what condition the scan of your own skills folder now stops early.

What

A skill is a packaged set of instructions Claude Code can use, and you can mention one by name. When Claude Code checks a message for skill mentions, it now builds its list of commands once and remembers whether each name can be used. Before, it looked up each command by name and worked the answer out again every time.

The scan of your own skills folder can also now stop early under one extra condition.

Why

This is mostly a speed improvement for skill mention checks.
