Structuring This Skill
[TODO: Choose the structure that best fits this skill's purpose. Common patterns:
1. Workflow-Based (best for sequential processes)
- Works well when there are clear step-by-step procedures
- Example: DOCX skill with "Workflow Decision Tree" -> "Reading" -> "Creating" -> "Editing"
- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Workflow Decision Tree -> ## Step 1 -> ## Step 2...
2. Task-Based (best for tool collections)
- Works well when the skill offers different operations/capabilities
- Example: PDF skill with "Quick Start" -> "Merge PDFs" -> "Split PDFs" -> "Extract Text"
- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Quick Start -> ## Task Category 1 -> ## Task Category 2...
3. Reference/Guidelines (best for standards or specifications)
- Works well for brand guidelines, coding standards, or requirements
- Example: Brand styling with "Brand Guidelines" -> "Colors" -> "Typography" -> "Features"
- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Guidelines -> ## Specifications -> ## Usage...
4. Capabilities-Based (best for integrated systems)
- Works well when the skill provides multiple interrelated features
- Example: Product Management with "Core Capabilities" -> numbered capability list
- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Core Capabilities -> ### 1. Feature -> ### 2. Feature...
Patterns can be mixed and matched as needed. Most skills combine patterns (e.g., start with task-based, add workflow for complex operations).
Delete this entire "Structuring This Skill" section when done - it's just guidance.]
[TODO: Replace with the first main section based on chosen structure]
[TODO: Add content here. See examples in existing skills:
- Code samples for technical skills
- Decision trees for complex workflows
- Concrete examples with realistic user requests
- References to scripts/templates/references as needed]
Resources (optional)
Create only the resource directories this skill actually needs. Delete this section if no resources are required.
scripts/
Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.) that can be run directly to perform specific operations.
Examples from other skills:
- PDF skill:
fill_fillable_fields.py,extract_form_field_info.py- utilities for PDF manipulation - DOCX skill:
document.py,utilities.py- Python modules for document processing
Appropriate for: Python scripts, shell scripts, or any executable code that performs automation, data processing, or specific operations.
Note: Scripts may be executed without loading into context, but can still be read by Codex for patching or environment adjustments.
references/
Documentation and reference material intended to be loaded into context to inform Codex's process and thinking.
Examples from other skills:
- Product management:
communication.md,context_building.md- detailed workflow guides - BigQuery: API reference documentation and query examples
- Finance: Schema documentation, company policies
Appropriate for: In-depth documentation, API references, database schemas, comprehensive guides, or any detailed information that Codex should reference while working.
assets/
Files not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output Codex produces.
Examples from other skills:
- Brand styling: PowerPoint template files (.pptx), logo files
- Frontend builder: HTML/React boilerplate project directories
- Typography: Font files (.ttf, .woff2)
Appropriate for: Templates, boilerplate code, document templates, images, icons, fonts, or any files meant to be copied or used in the final output.
Not every skill requires all three types of resources.
