Create a new skill or update an existing skill that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations. Use when the user asks to "create a skill", "make a new skill", "build a skill", "scaffold a skill", "write a skill for...", or "new skill that does...".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Create Skill

This skill guides the creation of effective skills. Authoring guidance is split across the reference files below. Read the ones the current step needs rather than all of them.

| [references/structure.md](references/structure.md) | Frontmatter, naming, descriptions, progressive disclosure, file layout |
| [references/writing.md](references/writing.md) | Prose rules: terminology, phrasing, conditions, thresholds |
| [references/workflows.md](references/workflows.md) | Step/phase structure, feedback loops, exit signals, output patterns |
| [references/composition.md](references/composition.md) | Depending on, invoking, and fanning out to other skills |
| [references/tools.md](references/tools.md) | `spawn_agent`, `request_user_input`, and MCP tool invocation |
| [references/evaluation.md](references/evaluation.md) | Evaluations and iterating on a skill from observed behavior |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/create-skill@sha256:aa979d6bb44fc7e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.17c9fd0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
