What issue are you seeing?
We have a need to be able run our own custom commands/prompts.
It seems the extension does not read from the .codex folder for anything, like the Codex CLI does. It would make sense that the extension reads .codex folder, as a place to live for codex custom commands and rules.
Currently the extension only support general slash commands - but no custom commands.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- make a custom command in
.codexor similar.codex/promptsfolder. - try and call it by writing
/in the chat. It is not found.
What is the expected behavior?
- make a custom command in
.codexor similar.codex/promptsfolder. - try and call it by writing
/in the chat. It is now found and can be executed like a command. - it will read the content of the file just like a prompt
