Documentation Type

Unclear/confusing documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills#extend-claude-with-skills

Section/Topic

Where skills live

Current Documentation

The docs say:

When skills share the same name across levels, higher-priority locations win: enterprise > personal > project.

What's Wrong or Missing?

It is extremely confusing to use > (greater-than) as an arrow. The sentence seems to imply enterprise has highest, project has lowest priority/precedence.

Suggested Improvement

When skills share the same name across levels, the most specific location wins; in order of increasing precedence: enterprise (lowest) -- personal -- project (highest).

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature

Additional Context

It can easily be tested that project-specific has higher precedence than personal.
