Description

Disable a personal skill in Customize → Skills. Start a brand-new chat and send a prompt that matches the skill description. Copilot still reports Loaded skill <name> and follows its instructions. Expected behavior: a disabled skill must not be eligible for automatic loading or explicit invocation in new chats.

Research direction

Start in the Customize → Skills flow and reproduce the behavior in a brand-new chat using a prompt matching the personal skill description. Trace how the disabled skill is considered for automatic loading and explicit invocation; done means a disabled skill is neither loaded nor followed.
