What
A skill is a set of instructions Claude can load for a task, and plugins (add-on packages) can supply them. When Claude Code records where a skill's file lives, a skill from a plugin now reports its plugin file's path. Before, it reported nothing unless it had its own skill folder.
Why
Information recorded about skills now covers skills from plugins too.
