Our review
This meta-skill audits and polishes Codex and Claude skills using dedicated scripts, ensuring structural integrity and standardization.
Strengths
- Automated validation of SKILL.md files and frontmatter structure
- Supports single-skill or full-set audits
- Cross-flavor compatibility between Codex and Claude formats
- Detailed reporting with TASTE score, issues, and changed files
Limitations
- Requires the polisher scripts to be present in the repository
- Only works for skills organized under .codex/skills or .claude/skills directories
- Claude audits are manual without the automated polisher
Use this skill to audit and standardize your Codex or Claude skill set before review or deployment.
Avoid using it for non-skill tasks or when the polishing scripts are not set up.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill runs external scripts via 'uv run' and PowerShell, which could perform file modifications or execute code. While intended for auditing, these scripts' integrity must be ensured. No overtly malicious instructions, but caution advised.
- •Runs Python and PowerShell scripts that could potentially modify files or execute arbitrary code.
- •Uses Bash for running commands, which could be risky if the environment is not trusted.
Examples
Run the skill polisher on all skills under .codex/skills and report any issues.Audit the skill named 'my-skill' under .codex/skills using the polisher.Perform a cross-flavor audit on both .codex/skills and .claude/skills using the shared auditor script.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.
