Claude Code 2.1 collapses the distinction between skills, slash commands, and subagents—skills can now fork into isolated contexts and specify their own model, making them the single abstraction for agent orchestration.
by alexander-opalic
Claude Code 2.1 transforms skills from specialized knowledge containers into a unified automation abstraction—hot-reloading, forked contexts, lifecycle hooks, and agent specification make skills the default choice for extending Claude Code.
