Problem Statement

Currently, skills are scanned and listed only at session start. If a skill is created or modified in another terminal during an active session, the only way to pick up the change is to start a new session. A /reload-skills command (or equivalent) would re-scan the skills directories and update the available skills list without requiring a new session. This would be especially useful when working across multiple Claude Code terminals simultaneously. Current behavior: New/modified skills are only visible after starting a new session. Expected behavior: /reload-skills rescans ~/.claude/skills/ and project-local .claude/skills/ and makes changes available immediately.

Proposed Solution

Add a /reload-skills slash command that re-scans ~/.claude/skills/ and all project-local .claude/skills/ directories and updates the available skills list in the current session without requiring a restart.
