What's Wrong?

Description:
When a skill is defined in ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md, it appears twice in the /skills dialog. The skill itself works correctly — the duplication is purely a display issue.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a skill at ~/.claude/skills/changes/SKILL.md with user-invocable: true
  2. Open the /skills dialog
  3. Observe the skill listed twice

Expected: Each skill appears once.

Actual: The skill appears twice in the list. The system-prompt skill listing also shows 4 entries (2 with trailing period, 2 without).

Environment:

  • Claude Code version: (check with claude --version)
  • Platform: macOS 14.6

What Should Happen?

Expected: Each skill appears once.
