[FEATURE] Feature Request: Allow user-defined ordering of skills in the / command menu
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
There is currently no way to control the order in which skills appear in the / slash command menu.
User-created skills are mixed in with built-in skills, making it harder to quickly access custom
workflows.
Current Workaround
Prefixing skill filenames with characters that sort early (e.g. a-my-skill.md) to influence
alphabetical ordering — this is fragile and not intuitive.
Proposed Solution
A mechanism to prioritize or order skills in the menu — for example:
- A priority or order field in skill frontmatter (e.g. order: 1)
- User/personal skills surfaced before project/plugin skills by default
- Or simply: user-created skills pinned to the top of the list
Alternative Solutions

Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
When a user has created several custom skills for frequently used workflows, it's friction to scroll
past built-in skills to find them. Surfacing personal skills at the top would improve discoverability
and speed.
