What it does

Guide for creating effective skills. Use when creating or updating a skill.

Skill Creator

Use this skill when defining or updating reusable Codex skills.

Workflow

  1. Workspace-local skills always live under skills/ at the workspace root.
  2. Create or update each workspace skill under skills/<skill-id>/ and save SKILL.md plus any helper files there.
  3. This embedded skill is guidance only: do not write new workspace skills into runtime/harnesses/src/embedded-skills/.
  4. Clarify the task and gather concrete examples.
  5. Define minimal reusable structure and naming.
  6. 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.
  7. Start from this template and fill in concrete content:
---
name: <skill-id>
description: <one-line summary>
---

# <Readable Skill Title>
