Codex Agent Skills (Official)

Use OpenAI’s official guide to choose where a reusable Codex skill belongs and how to package it. Start with a defined task, sample input and expected output; the guide covers SKILL.md instructions, local discovery and plugin distribution. Read the complete generated instructions and test intended and unintended triggers. This entry links documentation, not a downloadable legal workflow or evidence that a skill is reliable.

Skill Creator (OpenAI System Skill)

Invoke the built-in $skill-creator in Codex to draft or revise reusable instructions. Supply the task, trigger examples, permitted inputs, expected result and checks. Review the resulting SKILL.md and any scripts or references; test a normal case, missing information and a task that should not trigger it. Generated structure does not verify legal content or authorize the actions the skill describes.

PDF Skill (OpenAI Curated)

Use OpenAI’s PDF skill for source extraction, document creation and rendered-page inspection in Codex. Supply the files, desired output and fields or layout that must be preserved; the skill’s official instructions list its runtime dependencies. Check every rendered page and compare extracted text with the original, especially tables and scans. Install from the official source; a successful conversion does not verify legal meaning or irreversible redaction.
