What's Wrong?
In Claude Cowork (Desktop), a custom skill that was deleted from
Customize > Skills continues to appear in the "Skills" section of
the context panel every time a scheduled task runs.
Verified the skill is gone from:
- Customize > Skills (deleted)
- Project folder and hidden subfolders (not found)
- Project memory (empty)
- Scheduled task prompt (no reference)
The deleted skill "agrinote-weekly-weather-v2" loads automatically
on every scheduled task execution despite being removed everywhere accessible.
What Should Happen?
Deleted skills should not appear in any task context after deletion.

Additional Information

when running tasks manually from the project view.
Recreating the scheduled task from scratch does not resolve the issue.
The behavior is fully reproducible on every scheduled run.
