[Bug]: Codex does not recognize skills with symbolic link generated by specify extension add --dev #2930

@Akash98Sky

Description

@Akash98Sky

Codex fails to detect or load skills that are linked into the project using symbolic links created by the specify extension add --dev command.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run:
    specify extension add --dev <extension-name>
    This creates a symbolic link to the extension in the project.
  2. Attempt to use the skill provided by the extension in Codex.
  3. Observe that Codex does not recognize or load the skill.

Expected Behavior

Codex should correctly resolve symbolic links and recognize skills added via specify extension add --dev.

Actual Behavior

  • Skills added via symbolic links are not recognized.
  • Codex behaves as if the extension is missing or not installed.
