    Don’t get too excited, Claude code still won’t detect skills on .agents/skills.

      They have AGI, but they don't have $20 of token budget to add a so basic functionality.

        They probably have an explicit instruction in their own CLAUDE.md to not implement that support.

          Its the only explanation. I mean, they are not living under a rock...

            As evidence that they actually are living under a rock, there's still no proper way to mv a workspace and have it retain all its history and config.

              this is seriously nuts. I have so many repos sitting there using old/deprecated/replaced names just because of their idiotic decision to place dir-specific config and memories in ~/.claude

                Should we be able to manually rename those history folders to make the session history show up as --resume options in a new folder?

              I suppose you can use claude to build a third party script / cli tool that moves, then edit files on ~/.claude

              They win either way

              I get that it would be nice to have it first party, but they're all just json files that you can just do a bulk awk/sed on. I did this a week ago for about 100 conversations when migrating my convo history to a different username.
