Problem Statement

I'm unsure if skills or agents are invoked at the right time. Claude tells me:

Unfortunately, there's no built-in config for skill invocation indicators like the "thinking" or "edit" status messages. Those are hardcoded UI elements for specific tool types. If you want this as a proper feature, /feedback in Claude Code lets you submit feature requests. Showing "running skill: latex-debugger" in the status area seems like a reasonable ask—skills are essentially tool calls and could get the same treatment as other tools.

Proposed Solution

Show a status indicator (like "thinking" or "edit") when skills are invoked. Something like "skill: latex-debugger" in the status line would provide useful feedback that a skill was called and is being processed.
