What's Wrong?
I am running Claude Desktop via a Gateway account provided to me. When I upload a skill to that account, SKILL.MD is transferred, but all other files and directories do not transfer. This does not happen when I deploy the same skill to my local account running on my own machine. See screenshot for compariton.

What Should Happen?
I expect all of the files and directories to be transferred with the skill.
