What
Skills are reusable instructions Claude Code can load. Claude Code used to always build the path to your personal skills folder. It now asks a helper for that folder, and when there is none it skips personal skills and logs the folder as "none".
Diskless mode is a way a host program can launch Claude Code. Skills set by your organization's policy used to be exempt from the diskless check that applies when Claude Code looks for skills. They no longer are.
The bundled skill-doctor documentation also loads additional content.
Why
This can change which skills are available in diskless sessions.
