/insights recommends creating skills that already exist

Description
The /insights feature recommends creating custom skills/commands without checking whether they already exist. In my case, it suggested creating an /audit skill to formalize my audit workflow — but I already have /audit and /audit-loop global commands installed.
Expected behavior
The insights recommendation engine should cross-reference its "you do this a lot, make a skill" suggestions against the user's existing commands and skills before recommending them. The available skills/commands are already present in the system prompt context, so the data is there — it's just not being checked.
Steps to reproduce
- Install a global command (e.g.,
~/.claude/commands/audit.md) - Use that command across multiple sessions
- Run
/insights - Observe it recommends creating a skill for the exact workflow the existing command already handles
