skill-creator

To generate standardized frontmatter for a Codex skill, this automation tool creates a consistent SKILL.md file with validated name and description fields. It uses built-in templates to ensure the structure is drop-in ready.

You align openai.yaml UI metadata with SKILL.md by running the generate_openai_yaml.py script. This updates the agents/openai.yaml file to match your skill's frontmatter, ensuring consistent discovery across the interface.

Yes, you can scaffold optional resources like scripts and references when creating a skill by passing the --resources and --examples flags. This generates example templates for scripts, references, and assets to accelerate development.

Yes, you need pyyaml installed because the skill creation process depends on it to parse and generate the openai.yaml configuration file. This dependency ensures the UI metadata is correctly formatted and validated.

The best way to automate Codex skill unit creation is using a dedicated skill-template script that enforces naming rules, validates frontmatter, and scaffolds resources. This standardization eliminates boilerplate overhead and ensures drop-in readiness.
