Unclear What condition turns off this skill folder search is not known.

What

Claude Code looks for extra skill folders as you work in a project, beyond the usual locations. A skill is a packaged set of instructions Claude can load. This search now stops and finds nothing when a new check is true, alongside the existing cases where it is already skipped.

Why

In some mode, skills placed in nested folders may not be picked up.
