I was going over the documentation to figure out where to store all of the agent files for global use, and I found a mismatch for the skill files on three (3) different pages. Also, I could not find a location for the global instruction files.
In regards to the global skill file location: from what I have research, I would guess that both paths are correct, since they match the paths from VS Code when clicking New Skill (User)
My notes are below.
