Why does my custom Skill not appear in the DSH slash menu?

I added a SKILL.md to my repository, but it does not appear when I type a slash. Should I check the directory or the active preset?

This answer refers to the version in the original report. Check the controls and behavior in your own version.

Confirm the session uses the right workspace and the preset mounts the local Skill provider. The filesystem provider discovers a one-level Skill bundle or a standalone Markdown file in a scanned root. Check its frontmatter and name.

Try the full /name in a fresh session in the same workspace. If other local Skills appear, inspect this file’s path and metadata. If none appear, check the preset and configured scan roots.
