FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Codex skill with a standardized directory structure?▼

To scaffold a new Codex skill, run scripts/init_skill.py with a skill-name and --path to an output directory. This generates a standardized SKILL.md frontmatter, agents/openai.yaml UI metadata, and provisions resource directories like scripts and references.

What is the best way to update existing Codex skills without breaking UI metadata?▼

Do I need to manually configure YAML files when generating Codex skill metadata?▼

You do not need to manually configure YAML files for Codex skill metadata. The generator automatically provisions agents/openai.yaml UI metadata alongside the SKILL.md file, streamlining the configuration process while depending only on the yaml library.

Can I use this skill generator to create optional resource directories for scripts and references?▼

Yes, you can use this skill generator to create optional resource directories. It scaffolds a dedicated skill directory that includes provisions for scripts, references, and assets, providing example resource templates to accelerate skill creation.

Why should I use a template generator for Codex skill creation instead of building manually?▼
