The check now accepts any scheme followed by a colon, any number of slashes, and then a character other than a slash. Before, it required `:\/\/` after the scheme.\n\nA separate check that rejected values containing `<`, `>`, `\"`, spaces or control characters has been removed.\n\nClaude Code also adds a new skill-related event to its usage reporting.\n\n**Why**\n\nSkill locations with unusual characters or a scheme followed by a single slash are now handled by this check instead of being rejected.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
