The default skills lookup only scanned the project-relative .agents/skills directory, so personal skills had to be repeated per project or wired in via CODER_AGENT_EXP_SKILLS_DIRS. Now the default is the comma-separated list ~/.coder/skills,.agents/skills, which lets discoverSkills's existing first-occurrence-wins policy prefer home-scoped skills over project ones with the same name. The change is additive when ~/.coder/skills is absent (missing directories are silently skipped in discoverSkills) and unaffects users who set the env var explicitly. Closes CODAGT-403.

~/.coder/skillsto the agent's default skills discovery list so personal skills work across every workspace without per-project setup. Closes CODAGT-403.Change
DefaultSkillsDirinagent/agentcontextconfig/api.gois now"~/.coder/skills,.agents/skills"instead of".agents/skills". The existingResolvePaths(comma-split) anddiscoverSkills(first-occurrence-wins per skill name) machinery handles the rest: home-scoped skills override project-scoped ones with the same name.Back-compat
~/.coder/skillsdirectory see no change.discoverSkillssilently skips missing directories.CODER_AGENT_EXP_SKILLS_DIRSare unaffected. The env var fully overrides the default.DefaultSkillsDiris exported, but the package is experimental (CODER_AGENT_EXP_*). Keeping the constant name singular avoids a breaking rename.Tests
Three subtests added to
TestResolveinagent/agentcontextconfig/api_test.go:DefaultDiscoversHomeAndProjectSkills— both dirs populated, both skills surface.DefaultHomeSkillsOverrideProjectSkills— same skill name in both, home wins.DefaultSkipsMissingHomeSkillsDir— only project skill exists, default still works.Out of scope
