skill-pack-factory

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

1. Cluster source material into workflow patterns.
2. For multiple local source clones, run $auto-skill-build-source-pattern-synthesis before creating skill files.
3. Remove duplicates and generic advice.
4. For each skill, define one job and skip conditions.
5. Keep SKILL.md short; move examples and catalogs to references.
6. Add scripts only for repeated deterministic mechanics.
7. 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.
