What's Wrong?

Problem

When running /skills in the Claude Code CLI, a dialog briefly appears
and closes immediately without any useful output or feedback:

1. The command appears to do something (dialog opens)
2. But closes instantly — no list of skills, no error, no guidance
3. Users have no way to discover available skills from the CLI

## Actual behavior

Dialog opens and closes immediately. No output. No error. No guidance.

What Should Happen?

Either:

• Display a list of available skills and how to invoke them (like /help)
• Or show a clear message: "The /skills dialog is only available in the

desktop app. To run a skill, type /skill-name directly."
