Problem Statement

When I'm creating a skill, I want to be able to test it out in the same Claude code session without having to restart Claude code.

Proposed Solution

refresh skills after a new skill is created, so that the user can use it immediately.

Alternative Solutions

Currently, I work around this by refreshing Claude Code.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

Example scenario:

  1. I create a new skill in a Claude code session
  2. I go to test it
  3. I don't have to refresh my session

Additional Context

thought this would work but didn't:

Created: ~/.claude/skills/set-up-feature-flag/SKILL.md

  Usage:
  /set-up-feature-flag booksEnablePaymentMatching

  What it does:
  1. Validates the flag doesn't already exist
  2. Adds flag to types.ts → FEATURE_FLAG_NAMES
  3. Adds flag to const.ts → FEATURE_FLAG_DEFAULTS and FEATURE_FLAG_MOCK_DEFAULTS
  4. Asks you: commit here or create PR?
  5. Executes your chosen git workflow
  6. Reminds you to create the flag in LaunchDarkly

  Want to test it out with a real flag name, or would you like me to tweak anything?

> yes, let's test it out now with booksEnablePaymentMatching - i'm already on the branch where i want to add it so we can do it and then ill review and commit myself
