SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured scaffold for building Codex skills by generating a SKILL.md frontmatter template, optional resource folders (scripts, references, assets), and starter guidance. It helps teams standardize skill creation and onboarding for new capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a ready SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description and a clear, collapsible body skeleton.
  • Creates optional resource directories (scripts/, references/, assets/) with placeholder content to accelerate packaging and iteration.
  • Includes automated tooling (init_skill.py, package_skill.py, quick_validate.py) to bootstrap, verify, and distribute skills consistently.

Quick Start

Use the Skill Creator to scaffold a new Codex skill, then package it for distribution:

  • Run scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-dir> [--resources scripts,references,assets] [--examples]
  • If desired, run scripts/quick_validate.py <skill-dir> to verify structure
  • Run scripts/package_skill.py <skill-dir> to generate a .skill package
