Skill picker should sort skills alphabetically
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 26, 2026 by TheMazzle Closed Apr 26, 2026
Summary
The skill picker (shown when typing / in the Claude Code input) displays skills in a non-alphabetical, seemingly arbitrary order. Skills from plugins (e.g. superpowers) and user-defined skills from ~/.claude/skills/ are interleaved without sorting.
Expected behavior
Skills should be sorted alphabetically within each category (built-in / plugin / user), or globally alphabetically across all skills.
Current behavior
Skills appear in load order — a mix of plugin registration order and file system discovery order. With 30+ skills installed, finding a specific skill requires scanning the entire list.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.119
- Platform: macOS (darwin arm64)
- Skills sources:
~/.claude/skills/(37 user skills) + superpowers plugin
Workaround
None currently available — the order is not configurable via settings.json or skill manifests.
