Our review
This meta-skill enables Claude Code to audit and standardize Codex and Claude skills using the skill-polisher tooling.
Strengths
- Deterministic and reproducible audits
- Cross-flavor compatibility (Codex and Claude)
- Provides structured reports with TASTE scoring
- Integrates with PowerShell and Python scripts
Limitations
- Requires uv and associated scripts to be installed
- Manual audit for Claude skills may be less thorough
- Only audits, does not modify skills
Use when auditing or standardizing a set of Codex or Claude skills.
Avoid when you need to modify skill content rather than just validate.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill is a meta-auditor that runs external scripts to validate skill files. While the scripts themselves appear legitimate, executing them via Bash introduces a moderate risk if the environment or scripts are tampered with. No destructive or exfiltrating commands are directly included.
- •Skill uses Bash to execute audit scripts (powershell, python) which could pose a risk if those scripts are compromised or misconfigured.
Examples
Run a full audit of all skills in .codex/skills using the skill-polisher.Audit the Claude skill 'my-skill' in .claude/skills for frontmatter completeness.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.
