   @connorads with the latest version with your fix included, I still don't seem to have global claude skills loading. Am I doing something wrong? I would have expected opencode to just read the skills by default.

   This is on

   opencode -v
   1.0.208
   

   Attempts to list skills:

    opencode debug skill
   []
   

   And:

   
   ## User
   
   what skills do you have access to?
   
   ---
   
   ## Assistant
   
   I don't have access to any skills currently. The skill system shows:
   
   \```
   No skills are currently available.
   \```
   
   Skills would provide detailed instructions for specific tasks, but none are configured in this environment.
   
   However, I have access to these core tools:
   - **bash** - Run terminal commands
   - **read/write/edit** - File operations
   - **glob/grep** - File and content search
   - **task** - Launch agents for complex tasks (general, explore)
   - **webfetch** - Fetch web content
   - **todowrite/todoread** - Task management
   
   Is there something specific you'd like help with?

   Hey @ZainRizvi

   You're not doing anything wrong, global Claude is not yet supported.
   I tried to do the minimum work in #6252 to at least support project level Claude skills as per the existing docs
   

   I wasn't sure if global Claude skills had been discussed already in some other forum, given it wasn't in the initial release or docs, so I didn't consider adding it to my PR. But it seems as though @rekram1-node also thinks global Claude should be supported as per #6252 (comment)

   

   Another thing I didn't rectify was the directory walking, also mentioned in #6252 (comment) and the [existing docs]
