What issue are you seeing?

Using a symlink or a junction on windows to "add" a skill to Codex CLI does not work. Codex will not detect the skill. This same skill can be copied as a real folder and be detected.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Try either one of the following:

- Symlink
    New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "~\.codex\skills\.system\{folder-of-skill-under-development}" -Target "{absolute-path-to-folder-of-skill-under-development}"
  - Junction
    New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\josh\.codex\skills\.system\evolv" -Path "~\.codex\skills\.system\{folder-of-skill-under-development}" -Target "{absolute-path-to-folder-of-skill-under-development}"

2. Enter codex CLI. Type /skills
3. List does not show new skill.

What is the expected behavior?

1. Enter codex CLI. Type /skills
2. List shows new skill
