I built a small OSS CLI for people creating Codex skills/plugins.

The idea is simple: an ESLint-style publish-readiness check for Codex ecosystem artifacts.

Run it with:

npx codex-skillforge lint .

It checks things like:

• missing or invalid SKILL.md frontmatter
• vague skill trigger descriptions
• broken relative links to scripts/assets/references
• stale agents/openai.yaml shapes
• plugin manifest path issues
• missing bundled skills/hooks/MCP files
• basic package structure problems before submitting to a marketplace/list

It also includes:

• init for scaffolding skills/plugins
• smoke checks for example prompts
• pack for release artifacts
• a GitHub Action for CI

I’m mainly looking for feedback from people already building Codex skills/plugins:

• Are these checks useful?
• What common packaging mistakes should it catch?
• Would you run something like this in CI before submitting to a marketplace/list?

Not trying to make another marketplace. The goal is just to help people ship cleaner Codex skills/plugins before publishing them.
