Bug Report: Bug Title Codex OpenAI Docs route is unclear across Skills, Plugins, MCP, and invocations
`Steps to Reproduce`

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Codex Desktop for macOS.
  2. Check whether the first-party OpenAI Docs route appears in the UI.
  3. Compare these routes:
  • System skill
  • Personal skill
  • Skills
  • Plugins
  • MCP server
  • $openai-docs
  • @ picker/search
  • slash commands
  1. Restart Codex and check again.
  2. Observe whether OpenAI Docs appears as OpenAI Docs, OpenAI Developer Docs, openai-docs, MCP, Skill, Plugin, or not at all.

Observed: the UI can show multiple Docs-related routes, but it is

`Expected Result`

Expected Result

Codex should clearly show the official OpenAI Docs route status.

The UI should indicate:

  • whether the bundled openai-docs System skill is present;
  • whether the OpenAI Developer Docs MCP route is enabled and usable;
  • whether a Personal skill duplicate/override exists;
  • which route is first-party;
  • whether explicit invocation works through $, @, slash commands, Skills, Plugins, or MCP.

If System skills are hidden but still invokable, the UI should say that clearly.

`Actual Result`

Actual Result

The OpenAI Docs route is confusing from the user side.

OpenAI Docs may appear as:

  • System skill;
  • Personal skill;
  • Skill;
  • Plugin;
  • MCP server;
  • $ invocation;
  • @ picker result;
  • slash command;
  • or may appear missing.

After restart, the UI may show an OpenAI Developer Docs MCP entry and an OpenAI Docs skill entry, but a normal user cannot tell whether official OpenAI Docs access is working, duplicated, hidden, missing, or only available through a workaround.
