What problem does it solve?
Enables Codex to be extended with modular, self-contained Skills that encode domain knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations, empowering teams to standardize capabilities and accelerate automation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Specialized workflows: multi-step procedures tailored to specific domains.
- Tool integrations: guidance for working with file formats, APIs, and external tools.
- Domain expertise: encapsulated company knowledge, schemas, and business logic.
- Bundled resources: scripts, references, and assets to accelerate complex tasks.
- Progressive disclosure: load lightweight metadata initially and bring in full guidance or references on demand as users trigger the skill.
- Reusability: skill units are reusable building blocks that can be combined or extended for new tasks.
Quick Start
Initialize a new skill with scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory> and then customize SKILL.md and add resources as needed.
