   Thanks for the detailed report! I couldn't test this myself because the Desktop app isn't available in my environment, so a maintainer with Desktop will need to confirm it.

   From the 2.0.24 code, Settings → Extensions → Skills is meant to list only skills available to every project, which is why your project skills don't appear there. Each project also has its own settings page: Settings → Projects → (your project) → Extensions → Skills. It has an "Added to this project" section for skills found in that project's directory (e.g. .opencode/skills/, .agents/skills/, .claude/skills/), followed by "Shared with all projects".

   Could you check whether your project skills show up there? If they don't, or if you think the global Skills page should point to the project page, please reply here.

   Compliance updates applied:

   • Title updated with the [FEATURE]: prefix.
   • Added the verification checkbox to the issue description following the Feature Request template.

   Regarding the flagged potential duplicates:

   • [FEATURE]: Desktop Environment panel — skills, plugins, MCPs, loaded instructions + per-session context cost #48252 proposes a separate, read-only "Environment panel" for session inventory.
   • [FEATURE]: Add /skills command and skill panel to Web/Desktop app #26297 is about Web/Desktop parity for the /skills command and picker.
     This request is specifically about UX discoverability in the existing Settings → Extensions → Skills view.

   Regarding @opencode-agent's note on Settings → Projects → [project] → Extensions → Skills:
   Thank you for pointing that out! The project skills are indeed listed under that project-specific path. However, because the top-level Settings → Extensions → Skills page only shows "Available to all projects" without any pointer or hint that project-scoped skills are located under Projects, it creates the impression that project skills were missed or unsupported. Adding a link/pointer to the project extensions page or a project switcher in that view would clear up the confusion.

   As a follow-up observation after navigating to Settings → Projects → [project] → Extensions:

   The skills do show up under the Skills tab ("Added to this project"), but the landing experience compounds the confusion:

   1. Navigating to Extensions always defaults to the MCPs tab.
   2. The MCPs tab displays a prominent "No MCPs yet" / "MCPs available to OpenCode will appear here" empty state directly above the active "Shared with all projects" list.

   Clarifying the empty state wording (e.g., "No project-specific MCPs configured") and/or unifying global and project extensions into a single view with a project switcher would make the state of extensions much more intuitive.
