What this skill does
Manifest Generator Auto-generate capability manifests from skill/MCP descriptions using Codex Purpose Uses OpenAI Codex to analyze existing skills, MCPs, tools, and components to automatically generate their capability manifests. This bootstraps the entire orchestration system by inferring preconditions, effects, domains, and relationships from descriptions and implementations. When to Use Bootstrapping: Generate manifests for all 59 skills + 50 MCPs at once New resources: Auto-generate manifest when creating new skills/MCPs Updates: Regenerate manifest when skill description changes Validation: Compare generated manifest with existing to detect drift Key Capabilities Precondition Inference: Analyzes skill description to determine what must exist before use Effect Extraction: Identifies state changes the skill produces Domain Detection: Categorizes skill into technical domains Relationship Discovery: Infers which skills this enables/conflicts with/composes with Risk Assessment: Evaluates cost, latency, and risk level from description Inputs Process Step 1: Read Source Materials Step 2: Generate Manifest with Codex Step 3: Validate and Write Codex Prompt Template Example Output Bootstrap Script Run this to generate manifests for ALL resources: Benefits 1. Speed: Generate 109 manifests in minutes instead of weeks 2. Consistency: Uniform format and completeness 3. Discovery: Codex finds relationships humans miss 4. Validation: Compare to detect description/implementation drift 5. Evolution: Re-run to update as skills change Integration With capability-graph-builder Manifests become nodes in the capability graph. Relationships inferred from compatibility fields. With orchestration-planner Planner queries manifests to find capabilities matching goal requirements. With skill-validator Validator compares generated manifest with actual implementation to find discrepancies. …
