When a skill is loaded, its base folder text and placeholders such as `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}`, the project folder and the session id are now filled in first. An extra block of text that some skills receive is now added after that, and only in some cases. Before, it was added before the placeholders were filled in.\n\nThe notes box in the design preview has also changed:\n\n- It now uses the available width instead of a fixed 60 columns.\n\n- It shows at most 5 lines.\n\n- The \"Notes:\" label no longer shrinks.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are small fixes to how skill text is put together and how the notes box looks on screen.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
