When Claude Code works out a directory from that folder, it now uses the part of the path before `.claude`, which is the project folder. Before, it worked out a path relative to another location. The text bundled with skills and tool use was also replaced.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how paths tied to a particular skill are resolved.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
