# Example Skill

## When To Use

Use this skill when converting a proven workflow, checklist, or repeatable review pattern into a reusable Codex skill.

## Workflow

1. Create the skill at `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/`.
2. Add `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter containing non-empty `name` and a concise, front-loaded `description`.
3. Put only core trigger rules and workflow steps in `SKILL.md`.
4. Add `references/` only for background material that should be loaded conditionally.
5. Add `scripts/` only for deterministic checks or repeated operations.
6. Add `assets/` only for templates or binary resources used by the skill.
7. Add `agents/openai.yaml` only when UI metadata, policy, or dependencies are useful.
8. If this template validator is present, run `scripts/check.sh`; otherwise validate `SKILL.md` frontmatter and any optional metadata with the repo's available checks.

## Scripts

- Run `scripts/check.sh` after editing this skill template.
