What's Wrong?

I found an edge-case bug in the /skills interface: when a plugin's package name is exactly the same as a local skill name, the two skills conflict and one is hidden in the UI, even though their full qualified names are different.

What Should Happen?

Other duplicate skills (e.g. frontend-design, webapp-testing) work correctly:
Plugin version: has unique namespace prefix (e.g. document-skills:frontend-design, example-skills:webapp-testing)
Local version: no prefix
No conflict → both display normally

Steps to Reproduce

Install a local skill named claude-api at path: ~/.claude/skills/claude-api/
Install an official plugin skill with package name claude-api (full name: claude-api@anthropic-agent-skills)
Open the /skills interface
Only one claude-api skill is displayed; the other is hidden
