Custom skills not visible in slash commands or Settings > Skills UI

Description
Custom skills installed at ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md are loaded by Claude Code (appear in system prompt, auto-trigger works), but do NOT appear in:
- Slash command autocomplete (
/<skill-name>) - Settings > Custom > Skills UI
Expected Behavior
Valid custom skills should be discoverable in both slash command autocomplete and the Skills settings panel.
Actual Behavior
- Skill IS recognized internally (listed in system prompt, auto-trigger works correctly)
- Skill is NOT visible in slash command list
- Skill is NOT listed in Settings > Skills
Steps to Reproduce
- Install a custom skill at
~/.claude/skills/kuma-picker/SKILL.md - Start Claude Code
- Confirm skill loads (it appears in system prompt and auto-triggers)
- Type
/— skill does not appear in autocomplete - Open Settings > Skills — skill is not listed
Environment
- Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
- Claude Code (latest)
- Shell: bash
