Skill Creator
Use this skill when defining or updating reusable Codex skills.
Workflow
- Workspace-local skills always live under
skills/ at the workspace root.
- Create or update each workspace skill under
skills/<skill-id>/ and save SKILL.md plus any helper files there.
- This embedded skill is guidance only: do not write new workspace skills into
runtime/harnesses/src/embedded-skills/.
- Clarify the task and gather concrete examples.
- Define minimal reusable structure and naming.
- Enforce canonical
SKILL.md format:
- frontmatter is required and must include:
name: <skill-id> (must exactly match the directory name under skills/)
description: <one-line summary>
- markdown body starts after frontmatter and contains practical usage guidance.
- Start from this template and fill in concrete content:
---
name: <skill-id>
description: <one-line summary>
---
