Thanks. You were right. It was a cfg issue. For whatever reason, my mod
never came with skill.cfg. For posterity, here's how I fixed it.

Copy and paste skill.cfg from steamapps/common/Portal/hl2/cfg and paste it
into MyMod/sp/game/mod_episodic/cfg. Make sure skill_manifest.cfg in the
same folder contains the line:
exec skill.cfg

For those with no skill.cfg, here's mine:
