Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** General

I've got custom skills loaded in the options and the agent isn't seeing them, even after mentioning skill trigger words or /skills reload. I had to manually point it at my skill.md file.

Research direction

Start in the /chat path by reproducing the issue with a custom skill loaded in the options, then try mentioning its trigger words and running /skills reload. Trace how the app discovers skills and compare that with the manually supplied skill.md path. Done means the agent recognizes the configured custom skill without manual pointing.
