 ### Changes
 
+- Skills: compact skill file `<location>` paths in the system prompt by replacing home-directory prefixes with `~`, and add targeted compaction tests for prompt serialization behavior. (#14776) Thanks @bitfish3.
 - Skills: refine skill-description routing boundaries with explicit "Use when"/"NOT for" guidance for coding-agent/github/weather, and clarify PTY/browser fallback wording. (#14577) Thanks @DylanWoodAkers.
 - Agents/Subagents: add an accepted response note for `sessions_spawn` explaining polling subagents are disabled for one-off calls. Thanks @tyler6204.
 - Agents/Subagents: prefix spawned subagent task messages with context to preserve source information in downstream handling. Thanks @tyler6204.
