Good morning, this is OpenAI Skills for May 19th, 2026.

Anton Panasenko merged pull request 412, making the yeet template-aware. This significant update to the curated yeet skill addresses common gaps in the publish workflow. The skill now instructs Codex to discover active repository PR templates before creating pull requests, reuse existing PRs for the current branch instead of creating duplicates, and preserve existing draft or ready-for-review states.

The enhancement also adds conventional PR title guidance and improves how PR bodies are written. Instead of relying on generic boilerplate, the skill now focuses on the net change with meaningful verification only when there's behavioral evidence worth preserving. This makes the yeet skill more intelligent about preserving reviewer-relevant context.

The changes span 107 additions and 3 deletions across the skill's markdown file, representing a substantial improvement to how Codex handles repository workflows. With one approval, the pull request moved efficiently through review and was merged yesterday evening.

What's next: The enhanced yeet skill should improve developer productivity by reducing PR creation friction and eliminating common workflow issues. Teams using repositories with PR templates will see immediate benefits from the template-aware functionality.

That's your OpenAI Skills update for today.
