Claude plugin skills show doubled names in the /skill picker ("Frontend Design Frontend Design") #26295
Description
What happens
Claude plugin skills are named <plugin>:<skill>. When the plugin and the skill share a name, the composer's skill picker shows the words twice:
| Skill name | Picker label |
|---|---|
frontend-design:frontend-design |
Frontend Design Frontend Design |
code-simplifier:code-simplifier |
Code Simplifier Code Simplifier |
skill-creator:skill-creator |
Skill Creator Skill Creator |
html-plan:html-plan |

Why
formatProviderSkillDisplayName (packages/shared/src/inlineSkills.ts) uses the provider's displayName when there is one, else titleCaseWords(skill.name), which splits on [\s:_-]+. The Claude provider doesn't set displayName (Codex, Cursor and OpenCode do), so the : between namespace and skill becomes a plain space and the repeated name shows twice.
Suggested fix (either works)
- Collapse
ns:nsto one name: when the part before the first:equals the part after it, title-case only one. - More generally, title-case only the part after the first
:and render the namespace as a muted prefix or suffix, sopstack:comment-sickostays distinguishable from a localcomment-sicko.
A unit test in inlineSkills.test.ts for frontend-design:frontend-design → "Frontend Design" would pin it.
