- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
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:
- I create a new skill in a Claude code session
- I go to test it
- 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
