/skills picker only shows 8 items in 0.117.0 and no longer allows browsing the full skill list
### What version of Codex?
Codex CLI 0.117.0
### What happened?
In 0.117.0, the /skills picker only shows a small initial subset of skills (in my case, 8 items), and I can no
longer browse the rest of the installed skills by moving up/down in the picker.
Example of what is initially shown:
- API Design
- Article Writing
- Backend Patterns
- Bun Runtime
- Claude API
- Coding Standards
- Content Engine
- Crosspost
However, other skills are still installed and are still discoverable if I manually type/search for them by name. So
this does not seem to be a skill loading failure. It looks like a picker/display limitation or regression.
### What I expected
I expected /skills to let me browse more than the first 8 items, either by:
- continuing to scroll through the full list
- paginating
- or showing a "more" / expanded list behavior
useful.
### Why I think this is a UI/picker issue rather than a skill install issue
On my machine:
- the extra skills are installed
- they can still be found if I manually type their names
- the app-server
skills/listinterface appears to return a full skill list and does not exposelimit,page,
or cursor parameters
So the behavior seems to be in the /skills picker UI rather than in skill discovery itself.
### Possible regression
I believe 0.116.0 allowed broader browsing of the skill list, while 0.117.0 appears to only show a short
initial subset.
### Requested improvement
Please restore one of these behaviors:
- full scrollable browsing in
/skills - pagination for long skill lists
- an explicit "show more" affordance
- or a config option to control how many skills are shown initially
### Environment
- OS: Linux
- Codex CLI: 0.117.0
- Skills are installed under
~/.codex/skills
