  • Skill frontmatter

    Which SKILL.md frontmatter fields each harness reads.

  • OpenAI YAML

    The agents/openai.yaml file Codex reads next to a skill.

  • Skills over MCP

    Whether an agent can load skills directly from an MCP server.

  • Skill usage

    Whether you can tell which skills get used, and how often.
