Kilo Code does not load default skills from .agents/skills or .claude/skills as documented

[Lqm1]

The documentation states that Kilo Code loads skills from .agents/skills and .claude/skills by default:

https://kilo.ai/docs/customize/skills#vscode

However, in my environment, skills placed in those directories are not loaded by Kilo Code.

I originally expected this to work because the same skill setup is recognized correctly by Codex. I assumed Kilo Code would also load the same directories by default, based on the documentation.

Expected behavior

Kilo Code should automatically detect and load skills from:

.agents/skills
.claude/skills

as described in the documentation.

Actual behavior

Skills placed in those directories are not loaded by Kilo Code.

Notes

• The same skills are usable in Codex.
• The issue appears to be specific to Kilo Code, or the documented default loading behavior may not match the current implementation.

Could you confirm whether .agents/skills and .claude/skills are still intended to be loaded by default in Kilo Code?
If additional configuration is required, it would be helpful if the documentation could clarify that.

No this should work, and in my testing it does. if it doesnt, can you please open an issue with exact steps to reproduce, including system you encountered this on, and whether you ran into this with project dirs, or global dirs?

[Lqm1]

Thanks for confirming.

In my case, this happens with both global dirs and project dirs — neither are being loaded. I’ll also attach screenshots showing that the skills are not detected/loaded.

That does sound like a bug, please create an issue for it. It might also be that they are loaded but not displayed here (tbh i suspect that might be it)
