Global Skill Creator

Goal

Create a portable global Codex skill under config/codex/skills/.

Success means the skill has valid Codex frontmatter, useful trigger language, focused instructions, optional resources only when they add value, and a passing local validator run.

Stop when the skill is created or updated, validation passes, and the user has a concrete invocation example.

Workflow

  1. Read the current Codex skill-authoring instructions exposed in the session, then inspect an active tracked skill and tests/test-codex-skills.sh. Do not depend on the system-managed, gitignored config/codex/skills/.system directory.
  2. Ask for the skill's reusable purpose, trigger scenarios, and whether it needs references, scripts, templates, or assets.
  3. Create config/codex/skills/<skill-name>/ with a matching SKILL.md frontmatter name.
  4. Use concise description text that front-loads the key task and trigger words.
  5. Keep detailed docs in references/, deterministic helpers in scripts/, and output resources in assets/.
  6. Add agents/openai.yaml when UI metadata or explicit-invocation policy is useful. Keep it to the supported interface and policy fields used by active skills.
  7. Add the skill to the expected inventory in tests/test-codex-skills.sh and run:
