What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.324.21641(1228)

What subscription do you have?

Free

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I created a skill and use symbol link "ln -s" in MacOS, but when I Open Codex Desktop App and go to the skill panel, I can't find the skill, but the VSCode copilot can find it, so I think it's a bug in Codex Desktop App

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Create a symbol link

ln -s ~/my-agents/skills/test-skill/SKILL.md ~/.agents/skills/test-skill/SKILL.md

  1. Open Codex Desktop App and go to the skill panel

What is the expected behavior?

Can find the skill created by symbol link in MacOS
