What's Wrong?
When I ask Claude Code to read out the full tool schema for the Skill Tool, it does this (i cut off my actual skills)
<img width="911" height="447" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/02234a8a-8802-45c0-b1b3-17e85964237e" />
But doing the same for the Task tool does this:

Funny enough this actually makes a lot of sense as to why custom subagents are never invoked proactively by Claude.
What Should Happen?
Task Tool shouldn't ignore .claude/agents in its schema
