Skill discovery issues #13372

Description

@Realrubr2

Describe the bug

gh skills install <owner/repo> command does not correctly traverse trough codebase looking for skills even with flag --allow-hidden-dirs

it seems not wanting to look deeper than 2 folders

Affected version

Please run gh version and paste the output below.

gh version 2.92.0 (2026-04-28)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. create a repo add a /skills folder nested inside a different folder add a skill-name folder in that add the SKILL.md
  2. it will look like this --> /foo/bar/skills//SKILL.md
  3. run gh skills install <owner/repo> --allow-hidden-dirs
  4. View the output 'no skills found'

Expected vs actual behavior

the gh skills cli should be looking in the repo for SKILL.md in /skills directories even if they are nested
yet it fails to achieve that
