Agent	Add to a project	Use directly	If it is missing
Claude Code	`.claude/skills/meeting-recap/SKILL.md`	`/meeting-recap`	Check the folder and SKILL.md filename. Ask Claude “What skills are available?” to check discovery.
Codex	`.agents/skills/meeting-recap/SKILL.md`	`$meeting-recap`	Check the .agents/skills path and SKILL.md filename. Make sure Codex is working in the right project. Restart Codex if the change has not appeared.
