| name | maintain-codex-skills |
| description | Audit, update, and reconcile skills installed for Codex against provenance-tracked cached snapshots. Use when the user asks whether Codex has a skill, whether installed skills are current, to check drift, to review available updates, or to apply approved skill updates safely. |
Maintain Codex Skills
Use this sequence:
- Call
check_skill_updates to compare cached or desired skills with upstream hashes. This is read-only.
- Call
audit_codex_skills to report missing, current, or drifted Codex installations. This is read-only.
- Explain changed hashes and inspect updated snapshots before applying them.
- Call
sync_codex_skills only when the user explicitly approves the named skills. Pass confirm: true.
- Verify the returned audit. Tell the user to start a new thread so Codex loads changed skill instructions.
Default to notification and review, not unattended updates. A skill update changes Codex's operating instructions and may include executable resources.
