SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design, structure, and package self-contained AgentSkills by turning a workflow idea into a correctly formatted SKILL.md plus optional resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill authoring guidance: Defines how to write SKILL.md frontmatter and body instructions that reliably trigger and inform Codex.
  • Resource planning: Recommends when to include scripts/ for deterministic automation, references/ for detailed documentation, and assets/ for output templates or files.
  • Context-efficient design: Enforces progressive disclosure so the skill description stays concise while deeper material loads only when needed.
  • Naming and packaging workflow: Provides conventions for skill naming and a process for initializing and packaging skills for distribution.

Quick Start

Use the skill-creator guidance to create a new skill directory and write a SKILL.md that includes name and description frontmatter, then add only the scripts, references, and assets required by the workflow you want Codex to perform.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-creator

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Codex AgentSkill and structure the SKILL.md file?▼

Codex AgentSkills use progressive disclosure to prevent context bloat. The SKILL.md description stays concise for reliable triggering, while deeper documentation loads from bundled references, scripts, or assets only when the workflow demands it.

When should I include scripts, references, or assets in my skill packaging?▼

Include scripts for deterministic automation, references for detailed documentation, and assets for output templates. You should only bundle resources that are directly required by the specific workflow you want Codex to perform.

What is the best way to package Codex skills for domain-specific tasks?▼

The best way to package Codex skills is to create a skill directory, write a SKILL.md with required YAML frontmatter, add only necessary bundled resources, and follow naming and packaging conventions to ensure the skill is ready for distribution.

How does progressive disclosure work when authoring Codex skills?▼

Progressive disclosure keeps the SKILL.md description concise for reliable triggering while deeper material loads only when needed. This enforces context-efficient design and avoids context bloat during skill authoring.

Do I need YAML frontmatter to build a self-contained AgentSkill?▼

Yes, you need YAML frontmatter with name and description fields to build a self-contained AgentSkill. This frontmatter is required to reliably trigger and inform Codex when the skill is invoked for domain-specific tasks.
