ApprovabilityVerdict: Needs human review This PR introduces a new workspace-scoped skill discovery feature with significant new server infrastructure, contracts, and cross-platform state management. Additionally, an unresolved review comment identifies an inconsistent eager-loading behavior on mobile. You can customize Macroscope's approvability policy. Learn more. |

My PR #3982 solves for both codex and Grok |
- Forward configured launch arguments to workspace skill probes - Clear retained workspace skills after failed refreshes - Add focused probe and snapshot regressions
|
@jakeleventhal Thanks for the pointer. I confirmed #3982 carries the provider-neutral Codex/Grok approach and explicitly supersedes #3901. This branch still includes additional mobile composer/feed coverage, timeline skill decoration, shared web/mobile refresh/error policy, and bounded structured failure handling, so I’ll leave the overlap visible for maintainers to decide what to merge or port. |

- Keep matching workspace snapshots even when they contain no skills - Cover empty disconnected snapshots with a regression test

- Follow mobile environment connectivity and lazy lookup state - Clear retained skill snapshots across workspace switches
- Cache successful workspace skill probes for the configured TTL - Expire failed probes immediately and cover retry behavior - Document the success-only cache policy in branch details

Mobile thread eagerly probes skills
Medium Severity
Mobile thread detail always sets enabled: true for useProviderWorkspaceSkills, so every connected thread open starts a workspace skills RPC and can spawn a Codex app-server probe even with an empty composer and no $skill references. Web and mobile new-task gate this behind the $ menu or a complete skill token, and the branch notes also describe lazy lookup with close/reopen retention, which this path never exercises.

Summary
Fix Codex repo-local skill discovery by resolving skills for the active project or worktree cwd instead of relying on the provider-wide status snapshot.
The implementation adds a workspace-scoped provider-skills RPC and a shared web/mobile resolution policy so composer suggestions and rendered skill chips refresh for the correct workspace without leaking stale skills across workspace, environment, or provider changes.
What Changed
server.listProviderSkillscontracts, WebSocket and local API handlers, and environment-query wiring keyed by environment, provider instance, and cwd.ProviderSkillsListerto return snapshot skills for non-Codex or disabled Codex providers and run Codexskills/listin the validated workspace cwd for enabled Codex providers.$menu or existing complete$skillreferences, and load timeline skills only when a sent user prompt contains a complete skill reference, including one at the end of the message; web and mobile new-worktree drafts deliberately use snapshot fallback until their cwd exists and never probe the base checkout for repo-local skills.Why
Fixes #3040.
Codex discovers repo-local skills relative to the cwd supplied to
skills/list, but a provider status snapshot is global to the provider instance. A workspace-scoped query is therefore required to show the correct skills for each project and worktree, especially while switching between workspaces or refreshing under failure.Validation

Medium Risk
Touches provider probing, WebSocket RPC, and composer/timeline skill UX across server, web, and mobile; token boundary changes may alter which
$segments render as skills.Overview

$picker and message chips by resolving skills for the active project/worktree cwd instead of the global provider snapshot.Server: New
server.listProviderSkillsRPC (contracts, WS, client-runtime query keyed by environment + instance + cwd).ProviderSkillsListerruns Codexskills/listin the validated workspace cwd with coalescing, bounded concurrency, short TTL on success, 15s probe timeout, and sanitized structured errors; non-Codex/disabled Codex still return snapshot skills. Codex status probes use configured server cwd, notprocess.cwd().Clients (web + mobile): Shared
useProviderWorkspaceSkills/ resolution policy—lazy probes only when the$menu is open or a complete$skilltoken exists (timeline: sent user messages only); future-worktree drafts skip cwd until materialized. Preserves same-workspace skills while refreshing; clears on switch/failed refresh; falls back to snapshot on empty/error/disconnect with visible errors in skill menus.Shared:

Fix workspace-scoped Codex skill discovery across web, mobile, and server
server.listProviderSkillsWebSocket RPC that spawns the Codex app-server with a caller-suppliedcwdand returns workspace-specific skills; unauthenticated accounts return an empty list.useProviderWorkspaceSkillshooks (web and mobile) that query workspace skills when the prompt contains a$skilltoken or the skill menu is open, showing loading/error states and falling back to provider snapshot skills.parseInlineSkillTokensandhasInlineSkillTokento@t3tools/sharedwith stricter boundary rules (e.g.$HOME/.codexand PHP$value;are no longer matched), replacing local regex implementations across web, mobile, and markdown rendering.ComposerCommandMenu, mobileComposerCommandPopover) now display an error banner and suppress the empty-state placeholder when skill discovery fails.nullfromresolveProviderSkillsCwd/resolveNewTaskProviderSkillsCwdin that case.ChatComposernow requires two new required props (providerSkillsCwd,providerSkillsConnectionAvailable); existing TypeScript callers will fail to compile without them.Macroscope summarized bb00f1d.
