DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Skill anthropic/alwaysLoad Metadata

What

Skills can now declare anthropic/alwaysLoad in their MCP metadata to be loaded automatically without requiring explicit invocation.

Details
  • Set via _meta.["anthropic/alwaysLoad"] on the skill server
  • When true, the skill is loaded into the conversation automatically
  • Useful for skills that provide always-relevant context or capabilities
Evidence

Always-load flag (search for "anthropic/alwaysLoad")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
