FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Codex skill from scratch?▼

Create a new Codex skill by running the init script to scaffold the skill directory, then customize the SKILL.md frontmatter and resources, and package it with package_skill.py to produce a distributable .skill file.

What structure should a Codex skill follow?▼

A Codex skill requires a SKILL.md file with validated frontmatter, organized resource bundles (scripts, references, assets), and modular architecture that meets frontmatter validation and reproducible artifact requirements.

Can I update an existing skill using this approach?▼

Yes, the skill creator framework applies to both generating new skills and updating existing ones, providing consistent structuring, workflow templates, and packaging automation for reproducible skill artifacts.

What validation does the skill packaging process include?▼

Skill packaging includes frontmatter validation via quick_validate to ensure metadata correctness, modular SKILL.md structure compliance, and automation tooling to produce consistent, deployable skill artifacts.

How do I bundle resources like scripts and documentation into a skill?▼

Organize resources into modular patterns following the bundled resources guidelines for scripts, references, and assets, then use the packaging automation to build a distributable .skill file with all bundled components.

Do I need YAML knowledge to create a skill?▼
