[BUG]: No valid base paths found for skill discovery:

[mynameistito]

Hey there, I seem to be getting this issue, I have tried naming it .opencode-skillful.json too and it is in the ~/.config/opencode/* route;

[OpenCodeSkillful.Warn] 2026-02-07T05:01:48.232Z - [OpenCodeSkillful] No valid base paths found for skill discovery: [
"C:\Users\mynameistito\AppData\Roaming\OpenCode\Config\skills","C:\Users\mynameistito\.config\.opencode\skills"*

opencode-skillful.json File:

{
  "debug": false,
  "basePaths": [
    "~/.config/opencode/skills",
    ".opencode/skills",
    "~/.config/opencode/skill",
    ".opencode/skill"
  ],
  "promptRenderer": "xml",
  "modelRenderers": {}
}

Any assistance would be great!

I thought I was having the same problem.

skill_find fails to detect skills installed in project-level .agents/skills/ directory

Description:
After installing skills using npx skills add to both ~/.agents/skills and @.agents/skills/, the skill_find tool returns 0 results and skills are not recognized by the agent.

Environment:
- Working directory: /home/kuma/works/code/project
- Skills installed via: npx skills add
- Installation locations: ~/.agents/skills and @.agents/skills/

Actual Behavior:
1. skill_find("*") returns 0 - no skills detected
2. Agent system shows only built-in skills (playwright, frontend-ui-ux, git-master, dev-browser)
3. Project-level custom skills are not accessible

Expected Behavior:
1. skill_find("*") should detect and return all skills in:
- Project-level .agents/skills/ directory
- User-level ~/.agents/skills/ directory
2. skill_use should be able to load these project-level skills
3. Agent should recognize and utilize custom skills installed via npx skills add

Evidence:
- File system shows 7 skill directories exist:
- flutter-expert/
- nestjs-best-practices/
- postgresql-table-design/
- e2e-testing-patterns/
- architecture-patterns/
- flutter-architecture/
- microservices-architect/
- Each skill contains proper SKILL.md files
- However, skill_find tool reports 0 discovered/0 parsed/0 rejected skills

Impact:
Users cannot leverage project-specific or user-installed skills, severely limiting extensibility of the agent system.

This is the prompt when starting OpenCode:

   [OpencodeSkillful][warn] 2026-02-07T13:21:50.817Z -  [OpencodeSkillful] No valid base paths found for skill discovery: [
  "/home/kuma/.config/opencode/skills", "/home/kuma/works/code/project/.opencode/skills"
]

Would you like me to adjust the tone (more formal/casual) or add any additional details? / # #

Sorry, because I thought the problem I encountered was similar to yours, so I directly asked here and didn't want to create a new similar issue.
It was my fault for not describing it clearly. I'm really sorry.
