Skill Creator for Codex
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance.
What it adds
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
developer workflow
Get set up
- Preserve the original name. Note the skill's directory name and name frontmatter field -- use them unchanged.
- Copy to a writeable location before editing. The installed skill path may be read-only. Copy to /tmp/skill-name/, edit there, and package from the copy.
- If packaging manually, stage in /tmp/ first, then copy to the output directory -- direct writes may fail due to permissions.
