Hey, thanks for the report. This is a bug. Cursor isn’t filtering internal Codex skills from .codex/skills/.system/ like openai-docs, skill-creator, etc., even though they don’t make sense outside of Codex.
As a workaround, go to Settings → Rules, Skill, Subagents and turn off “Include third-party Plugins, Skills, and other configs”. This will remove .codex skills from the system prompt. The downside is it’ll also disable other third-party plugins and skills if you use them.
I’ve passed this on to the team. There’s no ETA yet, but your report will help with prioritization.
yes is enabled and i need it because i use a ton of MCPs that comes with their own skill so i cannot disable it.
as Dean said this is a combination of codex polluting the skills folder of cursor and cursor needs to come up with a “special case workaround” to prevent codex from polluting their system context, probably they can even ask they devs at codex to stop doing it and provide an official way for 3rd party agents to add skills to cursor without interfeering with cursor agent
