What issue are you seeing?

When using Codex CLI, I try to invoke skills, commands, hooks, or workflows by typing $ or /.

The autocomplete/search UI appears to match only the skill/command name. It does not seem to search across the skill description, command description, hook description, or other explanatory metadata.

This makes discovery difficult when I know what I want to do conceptually, but do not remember the exact skill or command name.

For example, in Claude Code, typing an English query searches not only the skill name, but also related descriptions, so relevant skills are easier to discover. In Codex CLI, I often need to already know the exact name before the autocomplete is useful.

This is especially inconvenient when there are many installed skills, commands, hooks, or plugins.

What is the expected behavior?

Autocomplete/search triggered by $ or / should search both:

• Skill/command/hook names
• Their descriptions or summary metadata

Ideally, typing a natural-language English query should surface relevant entries even when the query does not match the exact name.

Example:

• If a skill description contains "analyze repository" or "code review", typing related terms should show that skill even if the skill name itself does not contain those words.

Additional information

This is a usability/discoverability issue rather than a runtime failure.

Screenshots attached show the GitHub issue form context. The requested improvement is for Codex CLI's interactive autocomplete/search behavior for $ and / entries.
