Description

As of v1.0.204, skills placed in the global config folder (set by OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR) are not loaded. Everything else in the global config folder is working as expected e.g. agents, so I know the env var is working as expected.

Also, putting the same skills folder hierarchy in the project directory itself (under .opencode) works, so I know the skill definitions are valid.

OpenCode version

1.0.204

Steps to reproduce

Move the skills out of project folder into a global config folder (set by OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR)
Clear the session
Prompt: What skills do you have?

No response

    What did you set as the OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR ?

    Looks like its alright in the logs, loading config from D:\GitHub\My.Env\apps-pc\opencode, only issue is if you didnt follow the right flow /skill/<name>/SKILL.md but you said it works normally.

    Does it work if you add the skills to the normal opencode config at C:\Users\foo\.config\opencode ?

    It turned out I had a runaway opencode.exe process, killing it fixed it. The skills are now correctly being loaded from the configured directory. Thank you for looking into it.
