I second this. I'm trying to move over from Claude Code, which supports subdirs for their Custom Slash Commands. Having support for this in Codex would make the transition much easier.

This feature is critical to me and my workflow. Codex is entirely useless for me without it. Here is a little demo with the feature built in. If someone wants to improve on what I've done, then merge it in.

We have decided to deprecate support for custom prompts. The newer "skills" feature supports subdirectories.
