Description
Description
In the Codex desktop app, typing / in the main message composer opens only the Skills picker. The documented Codex command list does not appear, and there is no Submit feedback or Send feedback command.
Steps to reproduce
- Open an existing Codex conversation.
- Click the main message composer.
- Press Escape to close the Skills picker if it is already open.
- Type
/again. - Also try typing
/codex comm.
Expected behavior
The Codex command list should appear, including the feedback command documented by OpenAI Support.
Actual behavior
Only the Skills list appears. No feedback command is available, and /codex comm does not expose one.
Environment
- macOS
- Codex desktop app
- App build: 26.915.31029
- Bundled Codex version: codex-cli 0.155.0-alpha.9
- Model displayed during the affected work: GPT-6 Astra Ultra
Additional context
OpenAI Support instructed me to use the / feedback flow, but the flow is not present in this client. Support then advised filing a Codex bug report. Screenshots are available showing the Skills-only picker and the GitHub form behavior.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the slash-command behavior in the Codex desktop app's main message composer, including /codex comm. Trace the command-picker entry point and compare the displayed Skills list with the documented Codex command list; done means the Codex commands, including the feedback command, appear as expected.
