| description | Maintain Packy's repo-local skill library by creating, revising, consolidating, and pruning skills. Use when Packy work reveals a repeated workflow, a durable procedure, stale skill guidance, or a lesson that may belong in SKILLS.md or a skill folder instead of only AGENTS.md or MEMORY.md. |
Curator
Overview
Use this skill to keep Packy's reusable agent procedures small, accurate, and discoverable. The goal is a compact skill library that helps future agents repeat real workflows without turning every one-off note into a skill.
Workflow
- Decide whether the lesson is reusable.
- Put project-wide operating rules in
AGENTS.md.
- Put durable observations, collaborator cues, and one-off findings in
MEMORY.md.
- Put repeated procedures with steps, validations, or assets in
skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Search
SKILLS.md and skills/ before creating anything new.
- Update an existing skill when the workflow is already covered.
- Create a new skill only when the procedure has a clear trigger and future use.
- Prune or consolidate stale skills when they overlap or no longer match Packy's workflow.
- Update
SKILLS.md whenever the available skill set changes.
- Keep
agents/openai.yaml aligned with the skill name, purpose, and default prompt.
- Validate before committing:
python3 /home/pierce/.codex/skills/.system/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py skills/<name>
git diff --check
Skill Standards
- Keep frontmatter to
name and description.
- Put all trigger guidance in the description so agents can decide whether to load the skill.
- Keep the body procedural and concise.
- Add
scripts/, references/, or assets/ only when they directly support the skill.
- Delete generated TODO text before committing.
- Do not create auxiliary README, changelog, or quick-reference files inside a skill.
Naming
Use lowercase hyphenated names under 64 characters. Prefer short names that describe the action or workflow, such as publish-site-change or package-install-audit.
Commit Criteria
Before landing skill changes, the relevant skill validates, SKILLS.md lists the current skill set, and AGENTS.md or MEMORY.md reflects any broader operating lesson.
