Our review
This meta-skill audits and validates the structural integrity and standardization of Codex and Claude skills using the skill-polisher tool.
Strengths
- Deterministic audit with prebuilt scripts
- Cross-flavor compatibility (Codex and Claude)
- Clear reporting including TASTE score
- Multiple scripts for different audit contexts (local, cross, single)
Limitations
- Requires uv and its dependencies
- Only works within .codex/skills and .claude/skills directories
- Does not automatically fix issues (except adding @POLISHED seals)
Use this skill when you need to ensure all skills in a project follow standard formatting and required frontmatter.
Do not use it if you intend to modify skill content or if your skills are not organized in .codex/skills or .claude/skills folders.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only reads and audits skill files using local scripts; no destructive commands or data exfiltration. Bash tooling is used for script execution, but all actions are scoped to auditing and polishing, with no external URLs or malicious payloads.

Examples
Run skill-polisher on all skills in .codex/skills to check structural integrity.Audit the skill 'my-skill' in .codex/skills/my-skill for compliance.Perform a cross-flavor audit of 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.
