[Bug] Skills not listed in natural language queries and inaccurate token counting for skill context

Bug Description
Feedback: Skills vs Commands confusion and inaccurate token counting

Issue 1: Skills are NOT listed when asking via prompt - only commands are

What happened:
When I ask Claude via natural language to "list available skills" (e.g., "Liste moi tes skills et leurs descriptions"), it responds with COMMANDS only (e.g. ~/.claude/plugins/.../commands/).

The problem:
Skills (e.g. ~/.claude/plugins/.../skills/) are completely absent from the response. This is extremely confusing because:

• Skills and Commands are different concepts in Claude Code
• When a user asks for "skills", they expect to see skills, not commands
• This makes skills essentially invisible through natural conversation

Example:

• Prompt: "List your skills"
• Claude returns: /commit, /review-pr, /create-agent (commands)
• Missing: skill-writing, git-commiting, etc. (actual skills)

Issue 2: Highly inaccurate token counting - and concerning implications

What happened:
The /skills command displays severely underestimated token counts:

• git-branch-taskforce · ~22 tokens (actually 300+ tokens)
• archive-done · ~21 tokens (actually 300+ tokens)
• git:git-commit · ~8 tokens (actually 300+ tokens)
• cc-toolkit:claude-md-writing · ~13 tokens (actually 300+ tokens)

Token counts are off by 10-20x.

More concerning:
The /context command shows the same incorrect token counts as /skills. This raises a serious question: Are skill descriptions actually being read by Claude?

Why I'm worried:

• My skills are not being invoked proactively nearly as often as they should be
• The inaccurate token accounting makes me suspect the skill descriptions aren't actually loaded into context
• This would explain why Claude doesn't recognize when to use them
• Note: I'm 100% certain my skill frontmatter is correct, so this is not a configuration issue on my end

Impact:

• Skills become much less useful if they don't activate automatically
• Users lose trust in the system when core features don't wos documented
• Inaccurate token counts prevent proper context budget management
