Unclear Which session mode causes project and synced skills to be skipped is not settled.

What

Skills are reusable instructions Claude Code can load from folders on your machine. In a certain session mode, Claude Code now loads no skills from project folders and skips user skills that were synced from elsewhere. The same mode also changes other places, including finding the top of a git repository and reading configuration files.

CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_POLICY_SKILLS works as before.

Why

In this mode Claude Code does not look through your project or git repository for skills and settings, which suggests a remote or locked-down kind of session.
