Skill loading mechanism in Codex, specifically validation of `SKILL.md` file content.

Technical Positioning
Robust and secure skill loading, adhering to defined manifest specifications (e.g., description length limits).
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
Codex is failing to load skills due to `SKILL.md` descriptions exceeding the 1024-character limit. This indicates a strict validation policy on skill metadata. The developer pain point is a lack of clear upfront guidance or runtime feedback regarding these constraints, leading to failed deployments. Market implications include the necessity for developers to adhere to platform-specific manifest standards, impacting portability and requiring careful content authoring. This also suggests platforms are enforcing stricter controls over skill definitions, potentially for performance, security, or content moderation reasons.
