TL;DR

The issue might be related to the app not displaying the skill being used, and checking the skill selection or configuration could be the first step towards a solution.

Guidance

  • Review the list of 20+ skills to ensure that each skill is properly configured and selected for use in the Codex App.
  • Verify that the app is set up to display the skill being used, as this feature might be configurable or dependent on the specific skill or task.
  • Check if there are any settings or options in the "About Codex" dialog or elsewhere in the app that could be related to skill display or selection.
  • Consider testing with a smaller set of skills to see if the issue persists, which could help isolate the problem.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the skills or their configurations, which could be crucial for identifying the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue seems to be related to the app's behavior with multiple skills, trying to simplify the skill selection or testing with a minimal setup could provide more insight into the problem.
