skill-authoring
Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than
/octo:*slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, seeskills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.
Skill Authoring
A skill exists to get determinism out of a stochastic system. Predictability is the goal, and it means the agent takes the same process every run — not that it produces the same output. Every rule below serves that.
docs/PLUGIN-ASSEMBLY-STANDARD.md already fixes the structure a skill body
should take. This is about what makes the content inside that structure work.
Adapted from writing-great-skills in
mattpocock/skills (MIT), with the
invocation section rewritten for how this plugin actually loads skills.
