Can hooks observe skill invocations and access the skill name?

Hi team,
I’m trying to understand whether Claude Code hooks can observe skill invocations.
Specifically, when a skill is triggered (via /skill-name or the Skill tool), can hooks detect that event and access the skill name?
If yes, is this documented anywhere, and what data is exposed to the hook payload?
If not, would you consider supporting this? It would be very useful for local automation, telemetry, and custom workflows.
A more ideal payload/event shape would include fields like:
skill_nameargssource(slash_command/tool_call)- timestamp / session context
Thanks!
