What is needed in the frontmatter when generating a new Skill Unit?▼

Generating a Skill Unit requires frontmatter to include at minimum a name and description, ensuring the SKILL.md body structure and optional agent metadata meet validation standards.

Can I update existing Codex skills without regenerating the entire resource directory?▼

What is the best way to validate a SKILL.md file before deploying it to Codex?▼

The best way to validate a SKILL.md file is using the included quick_validate.py utility, which checks that required frontmatter and body structure meet the Skill Unit standards.
