What

When Claude Code syncs skills, it writes a list of the skills it has. Skills are reusable instructions it can load for a task. It used to write that list once without checking it. It can now re-read the list up to twice afterwards:

  • If skills it just downloaded are missing, it writes them back.
  • If they are still missing after that, the sync does not count as clean.

Both cases are logged.

Why

This fixes a timing problem where skills you had just synced could quietly disappear from the list.
