Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Use when we want to turn a just-finished Formax workflow (e.g. commands, overlays, tools, hooks, permissions, UI parity) into a reusable Codex Skill under .codex/skills, including scaffolding, guardrails, and the minimum test checklist.Key capabilities
- →Convert workflows into repo-local skills
- →Add scaffolding for new skills
- →Include guardrails for skill behavior
- →Define minimum regression test checklists
- →Specify file maps for changes
How it works
This skill acts as a Formax-specific wrapper around skill authoring, converting established workflows into reusable repo-local skills with predefined conventions.
Inputs & outputs
When to use formax-skill-capture
- →Standardize workflow
- →Create new skill
- →Document routine
About this skill
Formax skill capture (create skills from our workflow)
What this is
This skill is a Formax-specific wrapper around skill authoring: it helps us reliably convert “we just figured out how to do X” into a repo-local skill under .codex/skills/<skill-name>/.
It complements the built-in skill-creator (system skill) by adding Formax conventions:
- repo-local skills (checked into git)
- “where to change what” file map
- invariants (UI parity, model injection orthogonality, etc.)
- minimum regression tests to lock behavior
When to use
Trigger this when the user says:
- “把这个流程沉淀成 skill”
- “以后别再忘了怎么改 /xxx”
- “给我一个复用的修改清单/固定套路”
Minimal questions to ask (do not proceed until answered)
- Skill name (kebab-case), e.g.
formax-slash-command-workflow - 1–2 sentence description: when should Codex use it?
- Scope: which subsystem? (pick one)
- slash commands / overlays
- tools (spec/handler/presenter)
- hooks
- permissions/policy
- stability/input routing
- Any explicit “don’t change” constraints? (UI copy/spacing/colors, contracts, etc.)
Output requirements
The resulting skill must include:
- a short “Goal” section
- “Where to change what” (file list)
- “Patterns” (2–4 common patterns)
- “Tests to update” (minimum regression set)
- “Guardrails” (what must not regress)
Avoid long prose; prefer checklists.
Create a new skill (scaffold)
Use the scaffold script:
bash .codex/skills/formax-skill-capture/scripts/new-skill.sh <skill-name> "<description>"
Then fill SKILL.md body with the content above.
Refactor policy for skills
When a skill is created from a workflow we already shipped:
- Do not broaden scope (no extra features)
- Do not rewrite UI (unless explicitly requested)
- Write/extend tests first if behavior has regressed before
When not to use it
- →When the user wants to use the built-in `skill-creator` without Formax conventions
- →When the workflow is not yet stable or 'figured out'
Limitations
- →Requires a clear, defined workflow to capture
- →Does not broaden skill scope beyond the original workflow
- →Does not rewrite UI unless explicitly requested
How it compares
This workflow standardizes the creation of skills with Formax-specific conventions and guardrails, unlike a generic skill creation process.
