Codex Desktop: installed hatch-pet skill is not discoverable from slash command autocomplete
Summary
In Codex Desktop on Windows, installed skills such as hatch-pet are not discoverable from the slash-command autocomplete. Typing /hatch in the composer shows "No command" even when the curated skill exists under ~/.codex/skills/hatch-pet.
Environment
- Product: Codex Desktop
- Windows package:
OpenAI.Codex_26.429.3425.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0 - Codex CLI:
0.125.0 - OS: Windows
Reproduction
- Install the curated
hatch-petskill into~/.codex/skills/hatch-pet. - Restart Codex Desktop.
- Open the composer and type
/hatch. - The slash-command autocomplete reports no matching command.
Expected behavior
Codex should either:
- expose installed skills through deterministic slash-command aliases, for example
/hatchor/hatch-pet; - document clearly that skills are not slash commands and should be invoked through
$hatch-petor natural language; or - support plugin-provided command discovery for local plugins in a documented way.
Actual behavior
/hatch is not discoverable in the composer slash menu.
Notes
The curated skill exists upstream in openai/skills at skills/.curated/hatch-pet. I also tested a local plugin with .codex-plugin/plugin.json and markdown command files, installed into ~/.codex/plugins/cache/supar-local/hatch/0.1.0, but the supported command discovery contract for Desktop is unclear.
This may be a product/docs issue rather than a missing skill issue.
