Bug Report

Feature Area: Configuration System — Skill Configuration Files (YAML schema)

Severity: Medium (YAML config files using the spec-documented field name agent_skill_folders will silently fail to load Agent Skills)

What Was Tested

The field name for Agent Skills Standard folder references in skill YAML configuration files.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per the specification (§ Skill Configuration Files, Informal YAML Schema, line 32858):

agent_skill_folders:
  - path: <string>    # Path to the folder containing SKILL.md (required)
    name: <string>    # Override the skill bundle name (optional)

And the Structure Reference table (line 32875):

| agent_skill_folders | list | No | Agent Skills Standard folders to include. |

The spec-defined field name is agent_skill_folders.

Actual Behavior (from code analysis)

In src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/skill.py, the Skill model uses agent_skills as the field name:

agent_skills: list[SkillAgentSource] = Field(
    default_factory=list,
    ...
)

And the from_config class method reads:

agent_raw: list[dict[str, Any] | str] = config.get("agent_skills", [])

The code reads agent_skills from the YAML config, but the spec documents the field as agent_skill_folders.

Note: The docs/schema/skill.schema.yaml file also uses agent_skill_folders (consistent with the spec), but the domain model reads agent_skills. This means:

Users following the spec will write agent_skill_folders: in their YAML
The code will silently ignore it (no error, just empty list)
Agent Skills will not be loaded

Code Location

src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/skill.py, Skill.agent_skills field and from_config method
docs/schema/skill.schema.yaml uses agent_skill_folders (correct per spec)

Steps to Reproduce

Create a skill YAML file:

name: local/my-skill
description: Test skill
agent_skill_folders:
  - path: ./my-agent-skill

agents skill add --config my-skill.yaml

Observe: The agent_skill_folders entry is silently ignored. The skill loads with no agent skills.

Impact

Any skill YAML file using the spec-documented agent_skill_folders field name will silently fail to load Agent Skills. Users must use the undocumented agent_skills field name to get the behavior to work, which contradicts the spec and the docs/schema/skill.schema.yaml reference.
