share — Codex skill: what it does, how to install
Deploys a runnable prototype with the deployment tool the user selects, then returns a shareable URL. Use it when the hosting target is clear.
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill share -a codexWhat share does
This skill takes the prototype directory and the deployment destination, then runs the available deployment tool. Its result should include a working URL plus any follow-up work the user still has to handle.
The user must choose a target before deployment, such as @Sites, @Vercel, or another option. For a fresh Product Design prototype sent to @Sites, the workflow runs the project build and site tests, checks dist/client/index.html, dist/server/index.js, dist/.openai/hosting.json, and the source .openai/hosting.json, then hands the verified project to sites-hosting. Deployment cannot start until the target is selected or confirmed.
What it helps with
- deploy a runnable prototype
- choose a destination for deployment
- validate a project before using
@Sites - return a working prototype URL
- list the remaining manual follow-up
Example prompts for the agent
- Deploy this prototype with
@Verceland return the working URL. - Prepare this Product Design project for
@Sites, run the required checks, and share the result. - Use
@Sitesas the target, deploy the prototype, and tell me what still needs to be done manually.
