Settings/customize page does not list filesystem personal skills from ~/.claude/skills/
Summary
The desktop app's customize/settings page (Skills list) only shows cloud-synced skills and installed-plugin skills. Personal skills installed on the filesystem at ~/.claude/skills/ never appear — neither real directories nor symlinks — even though sessions load and run them fine (they appear in the / command popup and execute normally).
#37435 was closed with the clarification that Desktop "does not scan ~/.claude/skills/ for personal skills at all, it only loads skills from cloud-synced sources and installed plugins" — and that issue is now locked, so filing this as a feature request per its lock message.
Repro
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/test-skillwith a validSKILL.md(name + description frontmatter)- Restart Claude Code Desktop
/test-skillautocompletes and runs in a session- The customize page's skills list does not show it (tested with both a real directory and a symlinked skill directory)
Expected
The skills list should reflect what sessions actually load, including ~/.claude/skills/ entries (a read-only listing would be enough). As it stands the page presents an incomplete inventory of invocable skills, which reads as the skill being broken when it isn't.
Environment
