How to use the Codex Interactive Capability Map agent skill

What the skill makes the agent do

Once the skill is loaded, the agent reads your source text and extracts 6-10 core concepts. It names the overall model in plain language, such as "Operating Model", "Capability Map" or "Workflow Loop", and builds three linked views: a hero that frames the source and its promise, a workflow loop showing the main sequence or system, and a use-case matrix that combines concepts into practical scenarios.

The result is one HTML file. Clicking a nav item, loop node, matrix card or maturity level updates a right-side detail panel with a short explanation. The skill is meant to reduce reading effort, not to replace the source.

Install the skill from the ZIP download

Download the ZIP for this skill from this page and unzip it. The skill folder contains three files: SKILL.md, example.html and open-design.json.

For a personal install, unzip the folder into ~/.claude/skills/. To make it available only inside one project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder.

You can also upload the skill in the Claude apps. Go to Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills, and upload it there.

• Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
• Single project: .claude/skills/ inside the project folder
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Trigger the skill with a natural request

You do not need a special command. Ask the agent in plain language to turn your text into a visual map or interactive explainer. The skill fits best when the input is mostly text and you want a clearer mental model, when the content has repeated concepts, a process, a framework or operating principles, and when you want a web artifact rather than a static summary.

Paste or attach the source text along with your request so the agent has the material to work from.

• Turn this launch post into a clickable capability map.
• Make an interactive explainer from this memo with a workflow loop and use-case grid.
• Reshape this article into a single-page visual overview I can click through.

Example prompt and what you get back

The skill's own example prompt asks for the core concepts to be extracted, organised into a workflow loop and use-case matrix, and built as a polished single-file HTML prototype with clickable cards and a detail panel. The bundled example.html shows the kind of output to expect: a long post turned into a concise operating-model map with linked concepts, use cases and detail cards.

The skill asks the agent to keep copy short, to make the clicked element and detail panel visibly correspond through colour, motion or shape, and to work at 1280px wide and collapse cleanly below 900px.

What it needs and safety notes

The skill lists no required tools or packages. It does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to its listing. The output is a self-contained HTML file with CSS and JavaScript inline, and the skill tells the agent to avoid external image dependencies unless you supply assets.

Because the listing says it does not run scripts or use the network, there is no setup beyond placing the files and asking for the output. Still, review the generated HTML before sharing it, since it is code you will open in a browser.

• No runtime requirements are listed.
• Runs scripts: no. Uses network: no.
• Output is a single HTML file with inline CSS and JavaScript.

Tips for better results

The skill works from the text you give it, so a clear and complete source produces a better map. If the source contains little concrete detail, the skill may infer a small, clearly labelled conceptual model instead, so check the result against the original.

The fixed visual style is Codex-inspired, so it is not designed to match an existing brand system.

• Give the full text rather than a short excerpt.
• Ask for a specific model name if the default label does not fit.
• Check that concepts and use cases match the source before publishing.
• Expect a stylised look, not your brand guidelines.
