Version: 2.1.219
Description:
All skill names and descriptions (e.g. "dataviz", shown when listing skills via / or asking Claude to list skills) render in black font.
Reproduction:
- List skills (e.g. type
/or ask "list global skills") - Observe skill name/description text color
Reproduced with:
- A custom theme (
base: dark, with overrides fortext,inactive,subtle,suggestion,claude,briefLabelYou,briefLabelClaude— none of which fixed it) - The built-in
darktheme (no custom overrides at all)
So this isn't specific to one skill or one theme configuration — it looks like a specific color key used for skill names/descriptions isn't respecting the active theme.
Settings checked: No accessibility/high-contrast override in ~/.claude/settings.json that would explain this.
