Unclear What the switch controls.

What

The server-controlled switch tengu_cached_pebble is now known to control converting skills (reusable instruction sets) into plugins (add-ons). It has been replaced by tengu_steady_finch, which also falls back to off when the server sends nothing; the old name no longer appears.

  • The feature is on when the new switch is on, or when settings give convertedSkillsAsPlugins.
  • Plugin list sync now records convertedSkillsAsPlugins when every page of the server's response sets converted_skills_as_plugins.

Whether a value exists on the server under the new name is not visible.

Why

Whether skills show up as plugins now depends on the new switch name or your settings, not the old switch.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_steady_finch, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
