**Description:**

After Perplexity migrated “Shortcuts” to “Skills”, the `/` autocomplete in the Comet browser sidecar no longer works as expected.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Open any YouTube video in Comet browser
2. Open the Comet sidecar (side panel)
3. Click on the query input field
4. Type `/` or start typing `/video...`

**Expected behavior:**  
A dropdown list of saved Skills appears with autocomplete suggestions, allowing the user to select a skill (e.g. `/video-techniques`) without typing the full name.

**Actual behavior:**  
No dropdown appears. No autocomplete suggestions. The only way to trigger a Skill is to type the full exact name manually — which defeats the purpose of the feature, especially since users can’t remember exact names after the migration.

**Additional context:**

- I have 11 Skills saved (visible at perplexity.ai/account/shortcuts): `/top-10`, `/top-15`, `/video-techniques`, `/community-deepdive`, `/trend-tracker`, `/ai-research`, `/tech-digest`, `/reddit-hot`, `/hn-daily`, `/fact-checker`, `/teach-me-comet`
- Skills themselves work correctly when triggered with the full exact name
- This issue appeared after the Shortcuts → Skills migration
- The banner at perplexity.ai/account/shortcuts confirms the migration happened but autocomplete was not preserved
