Description
Summary
Plugin-provided skills can resolve when typed exactly, but they are not discoverable through the $ composer autocomplete.
Reproduction
- Install and enable
superpowers@openai-curated. - Start a fresh Codex CLI session.
- Type
$superpowers:brainstormingin the composer. - Observe that autocomplete does not recognize or suggest the plugin skill.
- Submit the exact mention anyway.
Actual behavior
The exact mention resolves and injects the skill, but it was not offered or recognized by the $ autocomplete surface.
Expected behavior
Enabled plugin-provided skills should appear in, or be searchable from, $ autocomplete so users can discover and select them without already knowing the full namespace and skill name.
Environment
- Codex CLI
0.151.0 superpowers@openai-curated: installed and enabled- Superpowers skill bundle:
6.3.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Codex CLI with the enabled superpowers@openai-curated plugin, then trace the $ autocomplete path and plugin skill discovery. Done means enabled plugin-provided skills, including superpowers:brainstorming, appear in or are searchable from autocomplete while exact invocation continues to work.
