MDA Compatibility Demonstration for Codex CLI

v20260526
mda-compat-codex-cli
This technical skill is designed to verify the compatibility of the Codex CLI with skills compiled from MDA source. Loading this skill confirms that the CLI loader successfully parses the SKILL.md format, adhering to the agentskills.io v1 envelope subset. It is primarily used for testing build pipelines, metadata integrity, and ensuring robust compatibility between MDA compilation and runtime ingestion.

Overview

MDA Compat Demo (Codex CLI)

This skill exists to verify Codex CLI SKILL.md compatibility from an MDA-compiled output.

Three things are true if Codex CLI discovers and loads this skill:

  1. The compiled SKILL.md parses under Codex CLI's loader (built on agentskills.io v1).
  2. The frontmatter name matches the package directory name (spec §06-2.1).
  3. The agentskills.io v1 envelope subset (name, description, allowed-tools) survives the round-trip from .mda source to compiled output to runtime ingest.

Source: compat/codex-cli/source.mda. Compile: mda compile compat/codex-cli/source.mda --target SKILL.md --out-dir compat/codex-cli/build --integrity.

What this does NOT prove:

  • That Codex CLI parses MDA-extended frontmatter under metadata.mda.* (the OpenAI docs do not document any such behavior, and we do not require it).
  • That signatures or integrity digests are verified at load time (no current runtime does that).
  • That non-standard top-level fields observed in some shipped Codex skills (for example triggers: arrays) are authored from MDA — they are not part of agentskills.io v1 and are out of MDA v1.0 scope.
