These are called deferred tools. The text describing them now says \"Deferred tools appear by name in a message from the system.\" It used to name system-reminder messages. The `ToolSearch` tool's own description was unchanged in the capture taken under this release.\n\nThe tool that searches claude.ai skills now carries a hint about when to use it, and an identifier in a tool registry. Skills are packaged instructions Claude can load for a task.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe wording Claude sees about deferred tools changed, and Claude has more to go on when deciding to search claude.ai skills.\n\n- Area: Tool Search\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
