Bug Description when typing a '/<skill>' into the prompt area, skill descriptions only show a single line of text followed by '...'. this makes it hard to know what a skill actually does. Preferred: show the entire description for a skill when its selected.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by modifying the display logic to show the entire skill description when selected, potentially involving changes to the UI rendering or text truncation settings.

Guidance

  • Investigate the UI component responsible for rendering skill descriptions to identify where the text truncation is occurring.
  • Check if there are any configuration options or settings that control the display of skill descriptions, such as a character limit or truncation threshold.
  • Review the error message to determine if the "Lock acquisition failed" error is related to the issue with skill descriptions, or if it's a separate problem that needs to be addressed.
  • Consider adding a feature request or enhancement to display the full skill description when selected, if this is not currently possible through configuration or settings.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the codebase or the specific components involved.

Notes

The provided error message seems unrelated to the issue with skill descriptions, as it mentions a "Lock acquisition failed" error. The issue may be specific to the UI or rendering logic, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the UI rendering or text truncation settings to display the entire skill description when selected, if possible. This is recommended as it directly addresses the reported issue, although the exact implementation details are unclear.
