What's Wrong?

Re-opening this issue since it still seems to be happening.

Bug
When invoking a skill (slash command) in the VSCode extension, ide_selection and ide_opened_file context tags are not included in the first message, even though the UI shows lines selected and a file is open.

Sending a follow-up message correctly includes tag.

What Should Happen?

ide_selection and ide_opened_file should be included in the skill's first response.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a custom skill in .claude/skills/my-skill.md
2. Open a file in the editor (e.g. src/index.ts)
3. Select some lines — UI shows </> N lines selected
4. Send: /my-skill do you have access to the selected lines?
5. Claude responds that it has no ide_selection or ide_opened_file in context
6. Send a follow-up: and now?
7. Claude now correctly sees both ide_selection and ide_opened_file
