Yao Meta Skill

Yao Meta Skill is a Python framework for creating, evaluating, packaging and governing reusable skills for AI agents. Its 2.0 architecture models skills in a platform-neutral intermediate representation, compiles them for multiple targets, and adds evaluation, review and release-governance stages.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a workflow needs to become a reusable, reviewable agent-skill package, especially where evaluation, multiple target formats or release evidence matter.

Who it is for

  • People turning repeated workflows into reusable agent skills.
  • Teams preparing skills for review, beta release or continued maintenance.
  • Maintainers who need to package skills for multiple documented agent targets.

Documented uses

  • Create a skill from a workflow, prompt set, transcript, runbook or document pattern.
  • Refactor or improve an existing skill and define its inputs, outputs and boundaries.
  • Evaluate triggers and outputs, and assemble review evidence.
  • Compile a modeled skill into documented target formats and manage release gates.
  • Track adoption drift and use feedback to plan later skill updates.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is available as a public GitHub repository and displays an MIT license. Its quick start documents installation through the Skills CLI.

  • The 2.0 Skill IR captures intent, triggers, inputs, outputs, boundaries, references and expected artifacts before target compilation.
  • Documented targets include OpenAI, Claude, generic agent skills, Agent Skills-compatible packages and VS Code-oriented workflows.
  • The evaluation and release process includes checks and evidence artifacts, but the README says some stronger claims remain evidence-gated.
  • The quick start specifically documents a Skills CLI installation for Codex and a selection option for all supported agents.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install Yao Meta Skill for Codex

Add the skill to Codex and begin invoking its documented skill-authoring tasks.

Before you start

  • An installed Skills CLI, invoked as npx -y skills.
  • A Codex client to restart after installation.

Steps

  1. Run the command below.

    Documented command
    npx -y skills add yaojingang/yao-meta-skill -a codex -g -y

  2. Restart Codex.

  3. Ask for a documented task such as creating a skill from a workflow, improving an existing skill, evaluating a skill or adding evals.

Expected outcome

The skill is installed for Codex and can be invoked through the documented natural-language task requests.

Guide limitations

  • The documented task examples do not guarantee a particular evaluation or generated package outcome.
