What's Wrong?
In third-party inference mode (such as AWS Bedrock) of Claude Desktop, when importing an Agent Skill that contains files other than SKILL.md (such as references/*.md) via "Settings" -> "Skills" -> "Add" -> "Upload a skill", all files other than SKILL.md are ignored.
What Should Happen?
Files other than SKILL.md, such as references/* and assets/*, are also imported.
