ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds substantial production infrastructure for watching Claude and Codex skill directories and rescanning live workspace snapshots, including new concurrency and filesystem lifecycle behavior. Although the intended fix is clear and well tested, the cross-provider runtime scope and stateful watcher logic merit human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

A project's `$` skill list is scanned once and held until Restart agent session, so a skill added or edited during a session stays missing from the picker. Claude and Codex instances now report the skill folders they scan, and the registry watches those for every held workspace snapshot. A new, removed, or renamed skill, or a changed SKILL.md, rescans the affected snapshots after a short debounce. Scripts, assets, dotfiles and editor temp files are ignored.

- Retry a rescan whose write lost to a concurrent scan, since the winner may have read the skill root before it changed. - Resolve Codex skill roots with the app-server's CODEX_HOME precedence and report them for managed Codex instances too. - Follow a missing skill root down from its nearest existing ancestor (never a home directory or filesystem root), and watch an existing root again after it is removed or replaced. - Narrow the composer docs to the cases that still need a restart.

Skill discovery accepts any directory name, so filtering top-level entries by name (dotfiles, `~`, `.tmp`, `4913`) could hide real skills. Only changes deeper in a skill other than its SKILL.md are ignored now; a stray top-level file costs one debounced rescan. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Codex loads SKILL.md files below ordinary skill roots, so an edit to a nested skill left the held workspace snapshot stale until a refresh. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Moving a populated skill directory into or out of a nested group under a skill root reports only the directory, with no separate SKILL.md event, so the watch dropped it. Count a directory appearing at any depth, and any removal at depth, since a removed path can no longer be checked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… seen If the recursive watch failed because the root vanished, but the root was back by the time the failure was handled, the exists check passed and nothing watched the root again.

Note Grok responding on behalf of Julius. Thanks for digging into this and for the careful write-up. #16750 just landed on If you still hit a case #16750 doesn't cover (for example needing the skill to appear immediately rather than on the next composer open after the window), please open an issue with the repro and we can look at a narrower follow-up. |

Problem
A skill added or edited during a session does not appear in the
$picker (or the slash menu) for a project that is already open. The picker reads a per-workspace skill snapshot that is scanned once and then held. Later health checks and provider refreshes reuse it, so the only ways to see the new skill are Restart agent session (#14542) or restarting T3 Code. This is the remaining part of #11497. When #12672 (a file-watch approach) was closed as superseded, a follow-up against current main was invited.#11497 has reports for both Codex and Claude. In each, the skill was on disk and a fresh scan found it, but an open project's picker still left it out.
Change
Claude and Codex instances now report the skill folders they scan for a workspace (
ProviderInstance.skillRoots). The registry watches those folders for every workspace snapshot it holds. When a skill appears, disappears, is renamed, or itsSKILL.mdchanges, it rescans the affected snapshots after a 500 ms debounce. The previous list stays visible until the rescan succeeds.skillsand<cwd>/.claude/skills, the same rootsdiscoverClaudeSkillsreads.$CODEX_HOME/skills,~/.agents/skills, and.agents/skillsand.codex/skillsin the cwd and each parent up to the repository root. I checked these against codex-cli 0.160.1 by creating a skill in each location and callingskills/list. The Codex home follows the same precedence as the spawned app-server (configured home, thenCODEX_HOME, then~/.codex). This applies to both existing installations and managed Codex.SKILL.md, such as scripts, assets, references, and editor temp files. Entries directly under a root are not filtered by name, because any directory name can hold a skill. A stray top-level file costs one debounced rescan.snapshotForCwdscan for that cwd without invalidating caches or re-probing the provider. Rescans run one at a time, because a Codex scan starts an app-server. A rescan whose write loses to a concurrent scan scans again, up to three times, because the scan that won may have read the folder before it changed..claude/skillsor.agents/skillsin a project is picked up. A home directory or filesystem root is never watched.skillRoots, so Restart agent session is still how to refresh them.~/.agents) does not exist yet is not picked up, because that would mean watching the home directory.Scope and approval
A focused reliability fix for a confirmed bug (#11497). There is no contract, client, or settings change. Only the server watches files and rescans what it already holds.
docs/user/composer.mdnow says which skill changes show up without a restart and which still need Restart agent session. The restart is also still how the agent itself loads new skills, plugins, or MCP servers.Verification
rescans a held workspace snapshot when its skill root changes: a held snapshot plus a skill-root event (one ignored path and two relevant ones) produces exactly one rescan. The new skill is published and no caches are invalidated. With the rescan disabled, the test times out.keeps the newest skills when a rescan races an explicit refresh: covers both completion orders. With the retry disabled, the test times out.skillRootWatch.test.ts: covers the change filter, the recursive watch of an existing root (a watch that ends on its own is not restarted), a replaced root watched again, a missing root followed down from its nearest existing ancestor, and never watching a home directory or filesystem root.CodexSkillRoots.test.ts: covers the Codex home precedence and the project roots up to the repository root. The managed Codex driver test now also checks its skill roots..claudefolder did not exist, a new skill, aSKILL.mdedit, a new symlinked skill, deleting the skills folder, and recreating it with a skill. A skill added after the recreate also fired.scripts/run.sh, an edit behind a symlink, and an idle period. That run also ignored a top-level.DS_Store. Since review feedback, top-level entries are no longer filtered by name, so that file would now cause one rescan.vp test runonProviderRegistry.test.ts,skillRootWatch.test.ts,CodexSkillRoots.test.ts,CodexDriver.test.ts, andClaudeSkills.test.ts: 5 files, 100 tests passed.tsc --noEmitinapps/serverpasses.
