SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Codex skill creators often start from scratch; this tool provides a template-driven scaffold to standardize how new skills are built, described, and discovered.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates SKILL.md frontmatter and a runnable skeleton for new skills.
  • Creates optional resource directories (scripts, references, assets) and an agents/openai.yaml.
  • Provides templates and example content to accelerate skill authoring and maintenance.

Quick Start

Run scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <path> to bootstrap a new skill scaffold, then edit SKILL.md and add resources as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Codex skill with YAML metadata?▼

To scaffold a Codex skill, run scripts/init_skill.py with a skill name and path. This generates standardized SKILL.md frontmatter, resource directories, and an agents/openai.yaml file for UI display.

What is the best way to generate standardized skill scaffolds for automation templates?▼

Using a template-driven scaffold is the best way to generate standardized skill structures. It creates SKILL.md frontmatter and optional resource directories like scripts, references, and assets to accelerate skill authoring.

Do I need pyyaml to create agents/openai.yaml for Codex?▼

Yes, you need pyyaml installed to support the generation and parsing of agents/openai.yaml files. The bundled generate_openai_yaml.py script relies on this dependency to produce interface overrides and validate YAML structures.

Can I validate my skill structure and metadata before publishing?▼

You can validate your skill structure by running the bundled quick_validate.py script. This checks the generated SKILL.md frontmatter, resource directories, and openai.yaml configuration to ensure they meet standard scaffold requirements.

How does template-driven skill initialization handle interface overrides in openai.yaml?▼

Template-driven skill initialization supports interface overrides by tailoring the generated agents/openai.yaml file specifically for UI display and prompts, ensuring the Codex skill integrates correctly with its target interface.
