# Publish skills through Codex

> Use Atlan MCP in Codex to inventory local skills, confirm a batch, and create Registry artifacts.

# Publish skills through Codex

Use Codex when the skill folders are already in the repository you are working
in and you want an agent to prepare the batch. MCP writes Registry artifacts.
It does not install the resulting skills into Codex.

## Before you start

Connect Codex to Atlan MCP and confirm that the target workspace is available
to your identity. See [Codex](/integrations/codex) for setup and connection
checks. Project-level MCP configuration loads only after Codex trusts the
project.

The skill folders must be available in the repository. Each one needs a
`SKILL.md` file. Do not ask Codex to upload secrets, customer data, or files
outside the skill packages.

## Start a session and inventory

Start with session setup and read-only discovery. The session is recorded for
review, but the request does not create or change a skill:

```text theme={null}
Connect to Atlan MCP and start a session. List the available artifact kinds,
then inspect ./skills for folders containing SKILL.md. Report the skill names,
source folders, and the workspace I can use. Do not create or change skills.
```

Review the list, the target workspace, and any naming conflicts. The live MCP
tool list and schemas returned to Codex are authoritative.

## Confirm the batch

Only after the inventory is correct, send a bounded confirmation:

```text theme={null}
I approve creating these skills in workspace workspace_123: release-notes and
incident-brief. Bundle only those two folders. Use registry__create_artifacts
with kind skill, create no more than 100 items in a call, and return every
source folder with its result. Do not retry failures or make any other changes.
```

`registry__create_artifacts` writes state and runs the skill kind's create
hooks. One rejected item does not roll back skills that succeeded, so inspect
each returned result before continuing.

## Verify and use the skill

Open each created skill in Atlan and confirm its version and source files. A
Registry skill is not installed into Codex just because MCP created it. Use the
connected server to find and inspect the reviewed skill before using it in a
task.
