What's Wrong?

When Claude delivers .skill files via the SendUserFile tool, the file cards appear with the SKILL badge, filename, and size — but no "Save skill" button is shown. There is no way to install the skill from the UI.

What Should Happen?

A "Save skill" button should appear on .skill file cards delivered via SendUserFile, allowing the user to install the skill into their profile directly from the conversation
