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.\n\nThe scan of your own skills folder can also now stop early under one extra condition.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is mostly a speed improvement for skill mention checks.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
