Doctor Skill

Note: All ~/.codex/... paths in this guide respect CODEX_HOME when that environment variable is set.

Canonical skill root

RCS installs skills to ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills/ — this is the path current Codex CLI natively loads as its skill root.

~/.agents/skills/ is a historical legacy path from an older Codex CLI release, before Codex settled on ~/.codex as its home directory. Current Codex CLI and RCS no longer write there.

In a mixed RCS + plain Codex environment:

• Use: ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills/ (user scope) or .codex/skills/ (project scope)
• Clean up if present: ~/.agents/skills/ — if this still exists alongside the canonical root, Codex's Enable/Disable Skills UI will show duplicate entries for any skill present in both trees
• Interop rule: RCS writes only to the canonical path; archive or remove ~/.agents/skills/ once you have confirmed ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills/ is your active root
