What is the difference between a Codex skill and a Claude Code plugin?

Codex skills are packaged as .skill files with a specific SKILL.md format, while Claude Code plugins require a .claude-plugin directory with marketplace.json and plugin.json metadata.

The workflow includes steps for committing and pushing changes, allowing you to finalize the distribution of your skills through standard Git processes.

Does this skill support both Windows and Linux?

Yes, it includes commands for both PowerShell and Bash to handle skill packaging and environment variables across different operating systems.

Can I use this to create new skills from scratch?

Absolutely. This skill provides the standardized structure and requirements needed to initialize, categorize, and register new skills within a repository.

How does it handle documentation?

It updates the root README.md to list available plugins and skills under their respective categories, ensuring your repository remains user-friendly and up-to-date.
