Education: Grant Compliance Review with Codex: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for grant compliance review in education operations using Codex: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: University research administration teams
The problem
University research administration teams need grant compliance review to run repeatedly against grant awards, spend reports, compliance docs, and deliverable evidence. In education operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach grant awards, spend reports, compliance docs, and deliverable evidence per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Codex execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For grant compliance review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run grant compliance review using Codex.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "education_grant_compliance_review".
Run this on Argo
