skill-creator

To scaffold a Codex skill, run the Skill Creator to initialize a new directory, which automatically generates a standardized SKILL.md template and optional resource folders like scripts and references.

A valid SKILL.md file requires mandatory frontmatter containing the skill name and description, followed by a lean body of guidelines and examples to enforce the Skill Unit standard.

The agents/openai.yaml file provides interface metadata that automatically drives Codex UI integration, ensuring the newly scaffolded skill is correctly recognized and rendered by the environment.

Yes, YAML is a required dependency for skill validation, as it is used to parse frontmatter and manage the agents/openai.yaml interface metadata during the initialization lifecycle.

Yes, you can include optional resources. The Skill Creator supports automatic scaffolding for scripts, references, and assets with example placeholders to accelerate development.

Using a standardized template with enforced frontmatter and tooling ensures consistency across multiple Codex skills, reducing setup overhead and maintaining structural integrity during validation.
