Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Power users who define custom skills spend most of their time invoking those skills via /, but built-in commands always appear first, pushing custom skills down the list.
Proposed Solution
Add an option to prioritise custom skills at the top of the / menu — either by default, or via a setting in .claude/settings.json.
- Surface custom skills before built-ins by default
- Add a preferCustomSkills: true setting to control ordering
- Allow manual ordering of skills in settings

Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
Feature Category
CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
- I have 20+ custom skills covering daily workflows (meeting notes, status briefs, talking points,
team reviews, etc.)
- Built-in commands I rarely use (e.g. /help, /clear) consistently appear above the skills I use
every session
- This adds unnecessary scrolling and friction in a tool designed for speed
Additional Context
Impact - Low implementation effort, high daily-use quality-of-life improvement for power users.
