Skill Polisher (Claude Code)

Audit Codex skills for structural integrity and standardization by using the existing Codex skill-polisher tooling.

Flavor Contract

• Claude-flavored by default: validates Claude frontmatter/tooling rules.
• Cross-flavored compatible via shared auditor (see Cross-Flavor Audit).

Target scope

• Codex skills:
  • Single skill: .codex/skills/<skill-name>
  • Whole set: .codex/skills
• Claude skills:
  • Single skill: .claude/skills/<skill-name>
  • Whole set: .claude/skills

Execution

Codex skills (preferred)

Use the Codex polisher for deterministic audits:

uv run .codex/skills/skill-polisher/scripts/polish_skill.py .codex/skills --all

For a single skill:

uv run .codex/skills/skill-polisher/scripts/polish_skill.py .codex/skills/<skill-name>

Claude skills (manual audit)

Claude skills do not share the Codex polisher; use a lightweight audit:

Get-ChildItem .claude/skills -Directory
Get-Content .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

Checks to confirm:

• SKILL.md present
• Frontmatter includes name and description
• Any allowed-tools entries match Claude tool names (Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash as needed)

Cross-Flavor Audit (shared)

Use the shared auditor when you want consistent reporting:

uv run scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor codex --root .codex/skills
uv run scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor claude --root .claude/skills

Hook (Claude-side)

Run the Claude cross-compatible audit via the helper script:

.\scripts\run_claude_skill_polisher.ps1 -Root .claude/skills

Claude-Local Audit (Claude-centric outputs)

Write JSON outputs into claude/mailbox:

.\scripts\run_claude_local_audit.ps1 -Root .claude/skills

Hook (Claude-side cross-polish)

Run both Codex and Claude audits in one pass:

.\scripts\run_claude_cross_polish.ps1 -CodexRoot .codex/skills -ClaudeRoot .claude/skills

Bridge (Codex tooling)

Invoke Codex polisher from Claude:

.\scripts\run_codex_polisher.ps1 -Root .codex/skills

Reporting

Summarize:

• TASTE + score
• Issues (if any)
• Files changed (if any)

Notes

• This skill audits Codex and Claude skills; do not modify either unless explicitly requested.
• If you need to add @POLISHED seals, do so after a clean run and record the timestamp.

Cross-Flavor Compatibility

• Codex flavor: requires agents/openai.yaml and assets/ with SVG icons.
• Claude flavor: requires SKILL.md with valid frontmatter (name, description), optional allowed-tools.
• For shared audits use: python scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor codex --root .codex/skills and python scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor claude --root .claude/skills.
