What's Wrong?
After renaming a skill folder in our org plugin from daily-brief to daily-brief-tungsten (repo: Tungsten-Automation-AI-Office/Claude-Plugins, plugin name: org-skills), Cowork's slash command resolver returns "Unknown command" for both my custom skill and Anthropic's /feedback. Both commands appear in the / autocomplete dropdown with their correct descriptions — but invocation fails immediately. Reproducible across ~50 Tungsten Automation users, persists across full app restarts, marketplace.json version bumps (1.0.0 → 1.0.2), and rename. Natural-language triggering of the same skills works correctly.
What Should Happen?
Typing /org-skills:daily-brief-tungsten should invoke the skill that the autocomplete dropdown advertises. Typing /feedback should open Anthropic's built-in feedback flow. The resolver should match what autocomplete shows.
Error Messages/Logs
Unknown command: /org-skills:daily-brief-tungsten
Unknown skill: feedback.
Steps to Reproduce
In an org plugin marketplace, rename a skill folder (e.g. daily-brief → daily-brief-tungsten)
Update SKILL.md frontmatter name: to match new folder
Bump marketplace.json version
Commit and push (auto-syncs to Cowork per our admin)
Restart Cowork fully (close from system tray, reopen)
Type / — autocomplete shows the renamed skill with correct description
Select it or type /org-skills:daily-brief-tungsten — observe "Unknown command"
Try /feedback — observe "Unknown skill: feedback."
Try natural language ("give me my daily brief") — works correctly

Additional Information
Plugin: org-skills v1.0.2 in marketplace tungsten-automation-claude-plugins
Repo: github.com/Tungsten-Automation-AI-Office/Claude-Plugins
Affected users: ~50 Tungsten Automation employees
Workaround: natural-language triggering ("give me my daily brief")
The fact that Anthropic's own /feedback also returns "Unknown skill" suggests this isn't just a rename edge case — the entire skill registry resolver appears broken in affected Cowork instances
