Claude Code tells Claude which skills are available through a skill listing attached to the conversation. Skill listings, called `skill_listing` attachments, now have an `addsToEarlier` flag.\n\n- When `addsToEarlier` is true, the reminder says the list \"adds to the skills listed earlier in this conversation and is not the full list\". Before, it always read \"The following skills are available\".\n\n- A later listing that does not add to an earlier one now clears the record of skills already announced. Before, announced names only accumulated and were never cleared.\n\n- As a result, skills are sent to Claude again after a reset.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude is told whether a list of skills is complete or only an addition, so it does not mistake a short addition for everything available. After a reset, skills are announced again instead of being left out because they were listed once before.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
