I can’t view the Skill in Codex at all, neither in the global configuration nor the project configuration. I’m absolutely certain I didn’t make any configuration errors, and I can’t figure out why—not even GPT5.2 Thinking can identify the root cause of the issue.
I’ve noticed that every time I make changes to a file and click Undo, the content doesn’t revert to its original state. Could there be an issue with my editor?
What steps can reproduce the bug?
none
What is the expected behavior?

You need to restart the extension after you define a new skill. Skills are currently enumerated only at the time the extension starts.
We recently made a change where project-local skills were ignored for untrusted projects. That explains the behavior you're seeing here. After considering user feedback and reevaluating the security risk, we've decided to reverse this change. You should see this in an upcoming version.
Thanks for the reporting the issue.
I’m using the extension in VSCode, not the CLI. I’ve noticed that many users have been encountering issues with the CLI, but I’m on the extension, and its current version is 0.4.62.
@xiaotang-12-ops, the extension is a wrapper around the CLI. The functionality that enumerates skills is common to both.
I’ve noticed the extension has been updated to version 0.4.66 — a button for viewing/issuing commands on the frontend interface seems to have been removed, and instead, you now have to type "/" to access this function. This is not the main issue, though; the key problem is that I still can’t see my custom Skills. Hasn’t this issue been fixed yet?
Codex-CLI doesn’t show my full skills list. What’s the optimal fix? │ >_ OpenAI Codex (v0.92.0-alpha.3) │
@shayancoin, which skills are missing? Do you detect a pattern? For example, are you seeing the skills installed in your user directory (
~/.codex/skills) but not within your project directory? Does it work with some projects but not others? Make sure you're using one of the supported locations.
