What

Skills are reusable instructions Claude Code can load, and plugins are add-ons that package features. Claude Code now keeps internal state about skills converted into plugins. A related setting for carrying something across restarts is also present and is off by default.

A new remote switch is also present. It is off unless it is switched on remotely.

Why

These look like early groundwork for showing skills as plugins. Nothing here changes what you do today.

Feature flag
tengu_harp_forepillar Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.304. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you
