This response omits built-in developer instructions; clients should either pass `settings.developer_instructions: null` when setting a mode to use Codex's built-in instructions, or provide their own instructions explicitly.
 - `skills/list` — list skills for one or more `cwd` values (optional `forceReload`).
 - `plugin/list` — list discovered plugin marketplaces and plugin state, including effective marketplace install/auth policy metadata and best-effort `featuredPluginIds` for the official curated marketplace. `interface.category` uses the marketplace category when present; otherwise it falls back to the plugin manifest category. Pass `forceRemoteSync: true` to refresh curated plugin state before listing (**under development; do not call from production clients yet**).
