A shared Claude Code skill link is broken

Devpit shares skills, agents and commands between Claude Code accounts with junctions: entries in the other account that point at folders in your main %USERPROFILE%\.claude. A junction is broken when the folder it points at is gone.

Why it happens

Section titled “Why it happens”
  • The skill was deleted or renamed in your main account. The link in the other account still has the old name.
  • The main .claude folder moved, for example into OneDrive. Links to it no longer resolve. OneDrive does not keep links, so Devpit does not make them there.
  • Another tool replaced the folder with something else.

How to fix it

Section titled “How to fix it”
  1. Open Accounts, then Claude Code, and open the account that shows the broken item.
  2. Choose Bring your Claude Code setup over. The item list marks the link as broken link. Press r to repair it. Repairing only changes the link, never your files.
  3. If the skill was renamed on purpose, share it again under its new name. If it was deleted, remove the broken link.

A link made by another tool is left alone and the row says so; fix that one with the tool that made it.

Do not delete a shared folder through the link in the other account with Explorer or Remove-Item -Recurse: that can delete the files in your main account too. To stop sharing, use Stop sharing in Devpit: it copies the item first and removes only the link.

Common questions

Did I lose the skill?

Not because of the link. A shared skill lives in your main .claude folder and the other account only points at it. If the skill folder in your main account was deleted or renamed, the link has nothing to point at. Removing a broken link never deletes files.

Why does a new skill in my main account not show in the other account?

Devpit adds links for new skills the next time claude starts in that account through Devpit's shim. Start claude once in a folder that uses the account, or share the skill from Accounts.
