What's Wrong?
Subsequent calls of the same skill in a claude code session should not duplicate the skill content into the context
Instead, the skill content should be moved to the end of the context, with the previous instance removed
I'm seeing claude report that calling the same skill multiple times will duplicate the skill's content in its context window
What Should Happen?
