Unclear It is not clear what this check turns on or off, or what its other conditions are.

What

Claude Code has a new check that always answers no unless the session is running as a hosted worker, meaning a session run on a remote machine rather than on your own computer. Inside a hosted worker session, the check looks at several conditions. Setting the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_SYNC_SKILLS satisfies one of them. An environment variable is a named value you set in your shell before starting Claude Code.

CLAUDE_CODE_SYNC_SKILLS already existed. This is one more place where Claude Code reads it.

Why

Syncing skills in hosted worker sessions looks like something CLAUDE_CODE_SYNC_SKILLS can now help control. Skills are packaged instructions Claude can load for a task.
