The Skill tool is how Claude uses one. Its description, which tells Claude how to use it, can now say \"Available skills appear in a listing from the system with one-line descriptions.\" The earlier wording, \"a system-reminder listing\", is still built as a second version, and Claude Code picks one of the two. A system-reminder is the tag Claude Code wraps around notes it adds to the conversation.\n\nThe stock Skill description captured under v2.1.323 differs from the one captured under v2.1.322.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is part of a wider rewording across several of Claude's tool descriptions, which now say \"from the system\" instead of naming system-reminder tags.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
