Description
What happened
The bundled system skill-creator skill instructs users to validate skills with scripts/quick_validate.py, but that script imports yaml and the Codex bundled workspace Python does not include PyYAML.
Observed with Codex's reported bundled workspace Python and bundle 26.905.11957:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py", line 10, in <module>
import yaml
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'
The same validator succeeds when invoked unchanged in a temporary environment containing PyYAML:
uv run --with pyyaml python .../skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py <skill-directory>
Expected behavior
The packaged validator should run with the packaged/default Codex runtime exactly as documented. Either include PyYAML in that runtime or make the validator self-contained.

Research direction
Start with skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py and reproduce the missing yaml import using the reported bundled workspace Python. Then inspect how the packaged/default Codex runtime supplies dependencies; done means the documented validator command runs unchanged in that runtime, without the reported ModuleNotFoundError.
