v1.9.0 — native catalog budget (skillListingBudgetFraction / /doctor)
Claude Code v2.1.105 (2026-04-13) shipped a native version of this skill's core thesis: a ~1% skill-listing budget that collapses the least-used skills' descriptions to bare names, plus a per-skill description cap — both surfaced by claude doctor.
What changed in v1.9.0
- New "native catalog budget" section documenting
skillListingBudgetFraction(default0.01) andmaxSkillDescriptionChars(default1536);/doctoris now the canonical readout. - Flagged raising the budget fraction as the anti-pattern (~111k tokens/session — in the same ballpark as the skill's earlier ~122k full-description estimate; measured on the current already-trimmed catalog, so consistent rather than an exact match).
- Corrected two now-false claims — "standalone skills inject as bare names" and "
name-onlyis a blanket no-op" — which only held before the budget made description-dropping usage-ranked. - README + both plugin manifests updated; version 1.8.0 → 1.9.0.
