Workflow excerpts are reading aids, not executable instructions from Codez. No third-party Skill was run to produce this page.
The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.
What this Skill does
Migrate supported instruction files, skills, agents, and MCP config into Codex project and global files.
How the upstream workflow works
Autonomy
Keep going until the selected migration is completely done: run the migrator, inspect the report, fix migrated Codex instructions/skills/agents/MCP config, and re-run checks without stopping to ask for confirmation of the next step. If the user has selected a target, do not ask before creating, editing, replacing, or deleting generated Codex artifacts in that target (AGENTS.md, .codex/, .agents/, or ~/.codex/).
Migration Order
Run the migration in this order for each selected global or project source: Start by using Codex's built-in TODO/task list tool. Do not create MIGRATION_TODOS.md or any TODO file unless the user explicitly asks. The TODO list input has a plan array whose items each have step and status; use statuses pending, in_progress, and completed. Make the TODOs specific to the selected artifacts. Before finishing, update the TODO list so every finished step is marked completed and no step remains in_progress. Use literal source → Codex target labels, for example:
Self-Healing Loop
Keep looping until the selected migration is complete: Run --plan or --doctor.
MIGRATE_TO_CODEX='python3 .codex/skills/migrate-to-codex/scripts/migrate-to-codex.py'Requirements and setup
No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.
Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
