Some skills run as a forked task, a separate run with its own context. When a forked skill fails, the result Claude gets back is now just the error text. Before, Claude got the same \"launched\" or \"completed\" message whether or not the skill had worked.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude can now see a real failure and react to it, instead of being told a broken skill ran fine.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
