FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new agent skill with the correct YAML frontmatter and directory structure?▼

To create a new agent skill, run the Skill Initializer script to generate a SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter and scaffold optional directories like scripts, references, and assets for your resources.

What is the required layout for packaging and distributing a Codex skill?▼

The required layout for a Codex skill includes a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields, alongside optional scripts, references, and assets directories that pass validation hooks before packaging.

How do I validate an existing skill before packaging it for distribution?▼

You validate an existing skill before packaging by running the quick_validate.py script with the skill path, which checks the YAML frontmatter and resource layout to ensure it meets packaging standards.

Can I update an existing skill without rebuilding the entire scaffolding from scratch?▼

Yes, you can update an existing skill by modifying its SKILL.md frontmatter and adjusting or adding resources to the existing directories without regenerating the entire scaffolding structure.

What is the best way to standardize skill creation across different domains for Codex integrations?▼

The best way to standardize skill creation across domains is using a template generator that enforces consistent YAML frontmatter, scaffolds reusable resource directories, and provides validation hooks for packaging.
