Our review
Audits and polishes Codex and Claude skills for structural integrity and standardization using built-in tooling.
Strengths
- Provides deterministic audits via the Codex skill-polisher script
- Supports both single-skill and batch audits across skill sets
- Includes cross-flavor compatibility for Codex and Claude skills
- Generates structured reports with TASTE scores and issue summaries
Limitations
- Requires the Codex skill-polisher to be present in the repository
- Claude skills lack a dedicated polisher and rely on manual checks or shared scripts
- No automatic remediation; only reports issues and suggests fixes
When you need to validate that Codex or Claude skills follow required conventions and are free of structural errors.
When you want to modify skills or apply automatic fixes; this skill only audits and reports.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill runs auditing scripts via `uv run` and PowerShell. No destructive, obfuscated, or exfiltrating commands are present. The actions are legitimate for skill maintenance.

Examples
Run the skill polisher on all skills under .codex/skills and report the results.Audit the skill .claude/skills/my-skill for structural integrity.Run a cross-flavor audit on both .codex/skills and .claude/skills using the shared auditor.name: skill-polisher
description: Meta-skill for Claude Code to validate and polish Codex skills under .codex/skills/ by running the skill-polisher and reviewing structural integrity. Use when auditing Codex skills, enforcing standardization, or running integrity sweeps across the Codex skill set.

Skill Polisher (Claude Code)
Audit Codex skills for structural integrity and standardization by using the existing Codex skill-polisher tooling.
Flavor Contract
- Claude-flavored by default: validates Claude frontmatter/tooling rules.
- Cross-flavored compatible via shared auditor (see Cross-Flavor Audit).
Target scope
- Codex skills:
- Single skill:
.codex/skills/<skill-name> - Whole set:
.codex/skills
- Single skill:
- Claude skills:
- Single skill:
.claude/skills/<skill-name> - Whole set:
.claude/skills
- Single skill:
Execution
Codex skills (preferred)
Use the Codex polisher for deterministic audits:
uv run .codex/skills/skill-polisher/scripts/polish_skill.py .codex/skills --all
For a single skill:
uv run .codex/skills/skill-polisher/scripts/polish_skill.py .codex/skills/<skill-name>
Claude skills (manual audit)
Claude skills do not share the Codex polisher; use a lightweight audit:
Get-ChildItem .claude/skills -Directory
Get-Content .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
Checks to confirm:
SKILL.mdpresent- Frontmatter includes
nameanddescription - Any
allowed-toolsentries match Claude tool names (Read,Write,Glob,Grep,Bashas needed)
Cross-Flavor Audit (shared)
Use the shared auditor when you want consistent reporting:
uv run scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor codex --root .codex/skills
uv run scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor claude --root .claude/skills
Hook (Claude-side)
Run the Claude cross-compatible audit via the helper script:
.\scripts\run_claude_skill_polisher.ps1 -Root .claude/skills
Claude-Local Audit (Claude-centric outputs)
Write JSON outputs into claude/mailbox:
.\scripts\run_claude_local_audit.ps1 -Root .claude/skills
Hook (Claude-side cross-polish)
Run both Codex and Claude audits in one pass:
.\scripts\run_claude_cross_polish.ps1 -CodexRoot .codex/skills -ClaudeRoot .claude/skills
Bridge (Codex tooling)
Invoke Codex polisher from Claude:
.\scripts\run_codex_polisher.ps1 -Root .codex/skills
Reporting
Summarize:
- TASTE + score
- Issues (if any)
- Files changed (if any)
Notes
- This skill audits Codex and Claude skills; do not modify either unless explicitly requested.
- If you need to add
@POLISHEDseals, do so after a clean run and record the timestamp.
Cross-Flavor Compatibility
- Codex flavor: requires
agents/openai.yamlandassets/with SVG icons. - Claude flavor: requires
SKILL.mdwith valid frontmatter (name,description), optionalallowed-tools. - For shared audits use:
python scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor codex --root .codex/skillsandpython scripts/skill_audit.py --flavor claude --root .claude/skills.
