What version of the IDE extension are you using?

Not using an IDE extension. This is the Codex desktop app. App version is not visible in the provided UI screenshot.

What subscription do you have?

Unknown.

Which IDE are you using?

Codex App, connected to a project over Remote SSH.

What platform is your computer?

Client appears to be macOS. Remote host is accessed over SSH; exact remote OS/version unknown.

What issue are you seeing?

When using Codex App with Remote SSH, repo-local skills are discovered in the normal remote project context, but are not discovered after switching to a newly created worktree for the same remote project.

Observed behavior:

• In the normal Remote SSH project, typing $gr shows repo-local skills such as project review/debug workflows.
• In the Remote SSH New worktree context for the same project, typing $gr shows No skills or apps found.
• The same kind of skill discovery problem does not occur for non-remote projects.

This makes new worktrees over Remote SSH lose access to the same repo-local skills that are available in the base remote checkout.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex App.
2. Connect to a repository over Remote SSH that contains repo-local skills, for example under .agents/skills/.
3. In the normal remote project context, type $ or a matching prefix such as $gr in the prompt.
4. Confirm that repo-local skills are listed.
5. Switch the project selector to New worktree for the same remote repository.
6. Type the same $ prefix in the prompt.

Actual result: the skill picker says No skills or apps found.

What is the expected behavior?

Repo-local skills should be discovered and shown in Remote SSH new worktree contexts the same way they are discovered in the normal Remote SSH project context and in non-remote projects.

Additional information

The screenshots from the reporter show the same project in Codex App:

• Remote SSH normal project: $gr lists repo-local skills.
• Remote SSH new worktree: $gr shows No skills or apps found.

The issue appears specific to the combination of Remote SSH plus Codex App New worktree.
