| name | skill-pack-factory |
| description | Create non-overlapping Codex skills or a local plugin from repos, workflows, PDFs, APIs, or repeated tasks. Use when the user asks to make many skills, convert GitHub learnings into skills, build a skill catalog, or package a workflow into reusable Codex instructions.

Skill Pack Factory
Make fewer, sharper skills. Use references for breadth.
Creation Flow
- Cluster source material into workflow patterns.
- For multiple local source clones, run
$auto-skill-build-source-pattern-synthesis before creating skill files.
- Remove duplicates and generic advice.
- For each skill, define one job and skip conditions.
- Keep
SKILL.md short; move examples and catalogs to references.
- Add scripts only for repeated deterministic mechanics.
- Validate with
$skill-quality-gate.
When source material is an external skill pack, slash-command pack, hook plugin,
or upstream prompt catalogue, run $auto-skill-safety-external-skill-intake
before creating or installing local skills from it.

Quality Bar
A skill is worth creating only if it changes Codex behavior in one of these ways:
- chooses better files/tools
- prevents a risky action
- saves repeated tokens
- preserves durable project knowledge
- turns a domain workflow into a checklist
- makes validation more reliable
Read references/skill-patterns.md before generating large batches.
Validation
- Each skill has one job, trigger language, skip conditions, and validation.
- Long catalogs/examples live in references, not
SKILL.md.
- Run
$skill-quality-gate before installing or relying on the pack.
