What feature would you like to see?
Hey,
after requesting the cline-memory bank (i implemented it locally works like a charm), I would like to see skill from claude added. It's imho not so big of a code change. I tried it already with codex and it more or less works out of the box.
What I would do is add a default folder .codex for every project just like for the memory-bank feature request and then add a folder /skills. codex can dynamically load skill as defined per agents.md file.

Skills are pretty strong and a great addition to codex cli.

Skills would be a major additional. Current alternative workflow is create global scripts / code, add to path, and use a custom prompt to inform codex of the script. Script organization is unwieldly and persisting the custom prompts in the session is not token efficient, as the Skill implementation.
I did not author, but I'm currently using this and it works well.

This is an MCP server that exposes skills as MCP tools to your coding agent. This is far from an implementation of skills. I don't see a way around the harness' lack of context editing capability, right?
