FAQPage Schema
How do I create and validate a new Codex skill automatically?▼

To create and validate a Codex skill, you can initialize a new skill folder with required files and optional resources, then run quick validation to detect and fix reported structural issues before deployment.

What is forward-testing for Codex skills and when is it needed?▼

Forward-testing for Codex skills is a stress-testing mechanism that evaluates a skill against fresh subagent-style tasks. It is needed when you want to ensure a skill functions reliably before deployment.

Do I need Python and the SkillSpec CLI to update existing Codex skills?▼

Yes, you need Python for execution and the SkillSpec CLI for orchestration to update existing Codex skills, as the process relies on a SkillSpec-backed contract to revise metadata and tests.

What's the best way to structure a Codex skill for progressive disclosure?▼

The best way to structure a Codex skill for progressive disclosure is to use a SkillSpec-backed contract, bundling scripts, references, and assets while ensuring required files are validated correctly.

Why does skill validation fail when updating resources in an existing Codex skill?▼

Skill validation may fail during updates if bundled resources do not meet the SkillSpec contract requirements. Running quick validation after revising files helps identify and fix these reported issues.
