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:
- Create a skill at ~/.claude/skills/changes/SKILL.md with user-invocable: true
- Open the /skills dialog
- 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.
