How do I scaffold a new Codex skill with a standard template?

To scaffold a new Codex skill, run scripts/init_skill.py with your desired skill name and output path. This generates a consistent SKILL.md template and resource directories for reliable deployment.

What is the best way to package Codex skills for deployment?

The best way to package Codex skills is using the guided packaging workflow. This process validates skill structure, frontmatter, and resource distribution to ensure reliable versioned deployment.

How does frontmatter validation work when creating modular skills?

Frontmatter validation ensures your modular skills have correct metadata structure. The workflow checks your SKILL.md frontmatter during scaffolding and packaging to enforce best practices and prevent deployment errors.

Can I include optional scripts and references when generating a skill template?

Yes, you can include optional scripts, references, and assets. The scaffolding workflow creates resource directories that support these components for comprehensive skill structuring and packaging.

Do I need yaml to automate Codex skill packaging workflows?

Yes, yaml is a required dependency to automate Codex skill packaging workflows. It enables the system to parse and validate the frontmatter defined in your SKILL.md template.

Why does my skill structure fail validation before packaging?

Skill structure validation fails when required frontmatter is missing or resource directories are incorrectly configured. The guided workflow checks these elements to ensure your skill meets deployment standards.
