FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Codex skill with the correct structure?▼

To create a Codex skill, run the initialization script to scaffold resources and configure agents/openai.yaml. You then customize the required SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description to establish the base structure.

What is the required format for SKILL.md frontmatter when building skills?▼

SKILL.md frontmatter requires name and description fields, and the skill name must use hyphen-case. This metadata validates the skill structure and ensures reliable deployment within the Codex environment.

How do I update an existing Codex skill to add new workflows?▼

Updating an existing Codex skill involves modifying the SKILL.md and adding modular resources like scripts, references, or assets. This extends the skill with new domain-specific knowledge and workflows.

Do I need PyYAML to scaffold and configure Codex skills?▼

Yes, PyYAML is required as a dependency to scaffold and configure Codex skills. It processes the YAML configuration files, including the agents/openai.yaml setup needed for deployment.

What is the best way to organize modular resources for complex Codex workflows?▼

The best way to organize resources is using a template-driven framework that separates scripts, references, and assets. This modular approach supports complex tasks and ensures repeatable processes for domain-specific knowledge.
