…dex 64-char name limit
Codex constructs each skill's internal name as `<plugin-dir>-<skill-dir>`.
This plugin had the skill dir name equal to the plugin dir name
(both `claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting`, 32 chars each), producing
a 65-char joined name and failing Codex's 64-char name limit:
failed to load skill .../plugins/claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting/
skills/claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting/SKILL.md:
invalid name: exceeds maximum length of 64 characters
Rename the inner `skills/<name>/` dir to `skills/troubleshooting/`
so the joined name becomes
`claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting-troubleshooting` (47 chars).
Also re-point `.codex/skills/claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting`
symlink at the new path. The skill's frontmatter `name:` and the
plugin's identity are unchanged.

…to drop joined name under 64 chars The previous commit (dbcf09d) renamed the skill DIRECTORY from `claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting` to `troubleshooting`, but Codex's 64-char limit is on `<plugin-dir>-<frontmatter.name>`, not `<plugin-dir>-<skill-dir>`. So the load error persisted: failed to load skill .../plugins/claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting/ skills/troubleshooting/SKILL.md: invalid name: exceeds maximum length of 64 characters Joined name was still 32 + 1 + 32 = 65 chars because the frontmatter still read `name: claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting`. Rename the frontmatter `name:` to `troubleshooting`. Codex's joined name is now `claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting-troubleshooting` (47 chars), under the limit. Verified locally: restart Codex, the load-error stops firing. The plugin identity (plugin.json `name`) is unchanged.

Problem
Codex constructs each skill's internal name as
<plugin-dir>-<frontmatter.name>and rejects anything over 64 chars. This plugin's defaults produced a 65-char joined name:Codex error in the user's log (verified on macOS,
~/.codex/log/codex-tui.log):Other single-skill trailofbits plugins with the plugin-name==skill-name pattern (e.g.
ask-questions-if-underspecifiedat 63 chars) just barely fit; this one is two chars over.Fix
Two changes:
commit dbcf09d — Rename the inner
skills/<name>/directory fromclaude-in-chrome-troubleshooting→troubleshooting. Tidies up the layout and matches the convention used by multi-skill plugins likebuilding-secure-contracts/skills/<distinct-skill-name>/. Also re-points.codex/skills/claude-in-chrome-troubleshootingsymlink at the new path.commit cbfd05f — Rename the SKILL.md frontmatter
name:field fromclaude-in-chrome-troubleshooting→troubleshooting. This is the load-bearing fix: Codex's joined-name calculation uses the frontmatter, not the dir name. Without this, the dir rename alone leaves the joined name at 65 chars.After both changes, the joined name is
claude-in-chrome-troubleshooting-troubleshooting(47 chars), well under the limit.The plugin identity (plugin.json
name) is unchanged atclaude-in-chrome-troubleshooting.Test plan
