DX Tools — Skills for TritonAI / Codex

A collection of skills for the TritonAI harness (a Codex-based agent). Each top-level directory is a self-contained skill, source-controlled here and synced to GitHub for sharing with the team.

What's in this repo

Each skill is a standard Codex skill: a directory containing a SKILL.md with name and description frontmatter, plus optional references/, scripts/, assets/, and agents/ resources. The description frontmatter controls when the skill is triggered. Skills may carry their own README.md with a scoped overview and any provenance or creation records — see each directory.

Installing into the TritonAI harness

Copy or symlink a skill directory into the harness skills location:

cp -R <skill-directory> ~/.tritonai-harness/codex/skills/

Skills load on the next turn or session. To update a skill, re-copy from this repo.

Installing from GitHub (for teammates)

Teammates can clone this repo and copy the skill directory as above. The TritonAI/Codex skill installer also supports direct GitHub paths:

install-skill-from-github.py --repo ucsdlib/dx-tools --path <skill-directory>

Development conventions

• Follow the standard Codex skill structure; keep SKILL.md lean and move reference material into references/.
• Keep developer-only artifacts (e.g., testing logs) as hidden dotfiles (.name) so agent file discovery ignores them, and never reference them from the skill itself.
• Give each skill its own README.md for a scoped overview; keep it current with the skill.
• Use descriptive commit messages; commit history is the changelog.

Origins and development

• Authored by Doug Worsham, Digital Experience Manager, UC San Diego Library, with AI assistance (developed iteratively with Claude/Anthropic and Codex/OpenAI).
• 2026-09-15 — the collection was added to this repo (commit 128176c). Skills previously distributed as Claude-style .skill ZIP files; the plain directories here are now the source of truth.
• 2026-09-15 — adapted for the TritonAI/Codex harness: search/read guidance maps to the collaborative browser (preview_*) and exec_command, and model identification is provider-agnostic.

Rebuilding a .skill ZIP (optional)

Claude Code consumes skills as single-file .skill ZIP packages. Rebuild one from its directory if needed:

zip -r <skill-name>.skill <skill-name>/

License

Unless noted in a skill's own files, skills do not yet carry a license — decide and add one before public sharing if needed.
