Codex Agent Skills ​

中文 | English

Summary ​

This source defines skills as Codex's reusable workflow unit: a focused package of instructions, optional scripts, and optional metadata that can be discovered locally or distributed more broadly through plugins.

Source ​

Key Contributions ​

  • Separates skills from plugins: skills define reusable methods, while plugins are the installable distribution package.
  • Clarifies explicit and implicit skill invocation, making description quality a key control point.
  • Maps the discovery scopes for repo, user, admin, and system skills.
  • Documents how per-skill enable/disable rules and optional UI/tool metadata are configured.

Strongest Claims ​

  • Skills should stay narrow and opinionated rather than trying to be universal prompt bundles.
  • Description text is operational, because it determines whether implicit invocation will be safe and accurate.
  • Local iteration should come before broad distribution.
