^ This tells codex python scripts it doesn't appear to be able to use.
I’m planning to create a concise SKILL.md with frontmatter and usage instructions, referencing a separate config file stored in references for clarity. Next, I’ll locate init_skill.py within /.codex/skills to run it
with these resources.
user prefers otherwise and craft a concise SKILL.md with basic frontmatter and a focused description including triggers and MCP server mention.
Drafting skill instructions and preparing for escalated directory creation
I'm outlining a concise skill README with quick start, tool map, workflow, config, and troubleshooting sections, plus a references file summarizing user-provided options while keeping ASCII-only. Next, I'll request
permission to create the skill directory with escalated exec_command including justification.

• Created the skill at /.codex/skills/chrome-devtools-mcp with SKILL.md and reference files. Initialization and packaging scripts were not found, so packaging wasn’t performed. Next steps: 1) run packaging if scripts
become available; 2) try using the skill with your prompt; 3) update the SKILL.md description or skill name if desired. Let me know if you want to rename or adjust anything.
