Claude fails to discover new skills, agents, commands with these folders in $PAI_DIR

[smolcompute]

Claude Code only auto-discovers “skills/agents/commands” in two places:

1. ~/.claude/...
2. a .claude/... folder inside projects

PAI keeps its stuff under ~/REPOS/PAI/commands, ~/REPOS/PAI/skills, etc. Those aren’t either, so Claude won’t notice new files there on its own.

The symlinked settings.json created with the command below just tells Claude where to run certain scripts; it doesn’t change the auto-discovery rule.

ln -sf $PAI_DIR/settings.json ~/.claude/settings.json

Maybe I'm missing something!

Havent tried myself but maybe this will do the trick?

No. the issue is that Claude is built to expect these to live in .claude

Yep, agreed.

So what's the solution here ?
