Custom skills not visible in slash commands or Settings > Skills UI

[block-s-dev]

Description

Custom skills installed at ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md are loaded by Claude Code (appear in system prompt, auto-trigger works), but do NOT appear in:

1. Slash command autocomplete (/<skill-name>)
2. Settings > Custom > Skills UI

Expected Behavior

Valid custom skills should be discoverable in both slash command autocomplete and the Skills settings panel.

Actual Behavior

• Skill IS recognized internally (listed in system prompt, auto-trigger works correctly)
• Skill is NOT visible in slash command list
• Skill is NOT listed in Settings > Skills

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install a custom skill at ~/.claude/skills/kuma-picker/SKILL.md
2. Start Claude Code
3. Confirm skill loads (it appears in system prompt and auto-triggers)
4. Type / — skill does not appear in autocomplete
5. Open Settings > Skills — skill is not listed

Environment

• Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
• Claude Code (latest)
• Shell: bash

Same issue but for the telegram skill just released.

• Claude Code v2.1.80
  • Bun 1.3.3
  • --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official flag used (+dangerously skill permissions)
  • "Listening for channel messages" appears at startup
  • Bot responds with pairing code, but no /telegram:* skills are available (same problem was for api, I had to ask claude to enter api key manually into .env)

Env:

• Mac OS X 15.7.4
• Claude CLI
• Shell: zsh

PS: tried debugging with Claude, it gave up and recommended filing a bug here =) Claude CLI itself does say it sees skill loaded, but yeah it just doesn't appear for me nor do I see it in /skills list
