FAQPage Schema

How do I manage local skills across user and project scopes?▼

You can manage local skills by using an interactive CLI wizard to list, add, remove, edit, and synchronize Skill units across both project-level and user-level scopes. This centralizes discovery and validation for consistent workspace access.

What is a valid local Skill structure in Codex?▼

A valid local Skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields. It can also reference optional scripts, references, or assets to enable extended behavior within the workspace.

Can I synchronize skills between user-level and project-level directories?▼

Yes, you can synchronize skills between user (~/.codex/skills/) and project (.codex/skills/) scopes. The CLI wizard supports syncing operations and applying reusable templates to maintain consistency across your environments.

What's the best way to search for a specific skill in my workspace?▼

The best way to search for a skill is using the CLI wizard's search operation, which scans metadata across both user and project scopes to quickly locate specific Skill units within your local environment.

Do I need any external dependencies to run local skill management commands?▼

No external dependencies are required to run local skill management commands. The CLI wizard operates directly on your local file system to coordinate Skill units without needing additional packages.
