Codex skin maker

Make a Codex skin from files you can inspect.

A Codex skin maker should not start by uploading private workspace screenshots. Start from a public-safe pack, inspect the artwork and theme metadata, copy the install command, then remix the visual direction with restore guidance still attached.

Install the local maker path

The Skill installs the pack fetcher and keeps validation close to the files. It is a better first action than a fake online preview because the user can actually download and inspect the pack.

Fetch the readable starter

Caishen Readable is the current starter because it has the strongest real usage signal: the most theme page views, zip downloads, and portable package downloads.

Ask Codex to remix safely

The maker prompt keeps the useful part of the workflow: original artwork, source-visible files, sanitized previews, and a visible restore path.

Use $codex-skin-pack-installer to fetch caishen-readable as a local starter. Then make a new public-safe Codex skin direction from it: keep the native Codex layout interactive, use original artwork or licensed imagery only, remove all private workspace data, include theme.json/background.png/README.md, and document the restore path.
Maker seeds

Start from a real pack, then change the art direction.

These packs are public files with artwork, theme metadata, README notes, and downloads. They are meant to be inspected before a user asks an agent to remix or apply them.
