That prompt is a new dialog in this build. It warns that Claude may use instructions, code, or files from the skill, and it adds:\n\n- A scrollable box holding the skill's description, with a ctrl+o hint to see more or go back to the first lines.\n\n- The message \"Make the terminal taller to approve.\" when the prompt does not fit in the window.\n\n- A note when the skill was called under a different name from its own.\n\n- Handling for skills that come from MCP servers (add-on tool servers) and for version rules.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe approval dialog for skills looks different from before. If you cannot approve a skill, try making your terminal window taller.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
