Description
Cli-creator is a skill from OpenAI's skills collection for building a real command-line tool that future Codex sessions can run by name from any folder. You give it the source material, which can be API documentation, an OpenAPI JSON file, SDK docs, curl examples, a browser app, an internal script or a shell history, along with the first jobs the tool should do, such as listing drafts or searching messages. The skill also asks for a short install name, such as a binary name like ci-logs, and it prefers creating a new folder for the tool under ~/code/clis. It is meant for durable tools that will be reused, not one-off scripts, and it says that a short script in the current repository is the better choice when that is enough. Because the result is a named command, the tool can be used across many sessions. The skill is listed on skills.sh under the openai/skills repository, as free to use.…
