This knowledge guide helps teams and individual users design, document, and package new skills for Codex, ensuring consistent structure and discovery.
Create a new skill directory using the skill initializer and customize SKILL.md to define its name, description, and resource needs.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To create a Codex skill, design a self-contained directory with a SKILL.md entry point and optional scripts, references, and assets folders. This structure packages domain knowledge and workflows into a modular unit ready for deployment.
Packaging Codex skills requires a SKILL.md file with frontmatter fields for name and description. You can include optional scripts, references, and assets directories to support deterministic tasks, reference material, and output templates.
The mandatory frontmatter fields for a valid SKILL.md file are name and description. These fields ensure consistent discovery and execution of the skill unit within the Codex environment.
Updating an existing Codex skill involves modifying the SKILL.md entry point and adjusting resources in the scripts, references, or assets directories. This ensures the updated capabilities maintain consistent structure and progressive disclosure standards.
Yes, PyYAML is required to parse and manage the frontmatter fields in SKILL.md files. It handles the YAML syntax needed for defining the name and description constraints during skill creation.
Use the scripts directory when your Codex skill needs to execute deterministic tasks. This optional resource folder supports tool integrations and automated workflows alongside the main SKILL.md definition.
