DHH Says Claude Ignores ~/.agents/skills Directory
DHH flags Claude's refusal to scan a custom skills folder and loses goodwill with Anthropic.
David Heinemeier Hansson posted that Claude still refuses to scan for skills placed in the ~/.agents/skills directory. He called the limitation petty and stated that each occurrence deducts five goodwill points from his view of Anthropic. Ben Tossell replied that users must create a symlink pointing ~/.claude/skills at the desired folder. The short thread shows two developers discussing the exact path Claude expects for custom skills and the manual step required to make the feature work. No other details about broader usage or fixes appear in the posts.
It's so petty that Claude still refuses to look for skills in ~/.agents/skills. Every time I hit this, I deduct 5 goodwill points from the Anthropic account.
