| name | agent-tools |
|---|---|
| description | Maintain, install, or troubleshoot the Windows-native agent helper commands and their global AGENTS.md integration. Use when Codex needs to change this tool package, reinstall it, diagnose behavior not covered by the installed global reference, or when the user explicitly invokes $agent-tools. Routine command usage is documented in global AGENTS.md and should not implicitly trigger this skill. |
The installer writes the complete routine command reference from assets/global-agents.md into the global AGENTS.md. Do not load this skill merely to look up normal agent-* syntax; use the already-loaded global reference.
- Edit
assets/global-agents.mdwhen changing the Agent-facing routine usage contract. - Edit
scripts/agent-tools.goand its tests when changing executable behavior. - Keep
scripts/install.ps1responsible for validating and installing the template, binaries, and skill files. - Run the Go tests and the installation integration test.
- Reinstall from the repository root to deploy the updated binaries, skill metadata, and global reference.
Run pwsh -NoProfile -File scripts/install.ps1 from the repository root. The installer builds seven executable names, sets AGENT_TOOLS_HOME, installs the skill under %CODEX_HOME%\skills\agent-tools, and replaces the global AGENTS.md marker block from the validated template.
The installed skill contains:
%USERPROFILE%\.codex\skills\agent-tools\
SKILL.md
agents\openai.yaml
assets\global-agents.md
scripts\agent-tools.go
scripts\agent-tools_test.go
Routine command syntax, read limits, output boundaries, PowerShell transport, and dependency behavior belong in the global reference, not duplicated here.
