What it does

Using Bgs Papyrus is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when the user wants to compile Papyrus PSC to PEX, decompile PEX to PSC, detect Creation Kit Papyrus toolchains, or inspect Papyrus capabilities for Skyrim, Fallout 4, or Starfield. Triggers - "compile PSC", "decompile PEX", "PapyrusCompiler", "bgs-papyrus", "Starfield Guard syntax".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to compile Papyrus PSC to PEX
  • Decompile PEX to PSC
  • Detect Creation Kit Papyrus toolchains
  • Inspect Papyrus capabilities for Skyrim

Example prompts

  • “compile PSC”
  • “decompile PEX”
  • “PapyrusCompiler”
  • “/using-bgs-papyrus”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run bgs-papyrus capabilities --json.
  2. Run bgs-papyrus detect-toolchain --json --game .
  3. Compile or decompile with --json.
  4. For compile output, stage final .pex files only under /mods//Scripts/.
  5. For decompile output intended for reuse, recompile it through the official CK compiler before claiming it is publishable.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are powershell).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Using Bgs Papyrus loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 585 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when the user wants to compile Papyrus PSC to PEX, decompile PEX to PSC, detect Creation Kit Papyrus toolchains, or inspect Papyrus capabilities for Skyrim, Fallout 4, or Starfield. Triggers - "compile PSC", "decompile PEX", "PapyrusCompiler", "bgs-papyrus", "Starfield Guard syntax".

Using bgs-papyrus

bgs-papyrus is the agent-native CLI for Papyrus compile and decompile work. It detects official Creation Kit compilers, compiles .psc to .pex, decompiles .pex to .psc through Champollion, and returns JSON envelopes for agent workflows.

Use this skill for:

  • compiling Papyrus source to bytecode for Skyrim LE, Skyrim SE/AE, Fallout 4, or Starfield;
  • decompiling Papyrus bytecode to source for inspection or patching;
  • detecting whether the official Creation Kit compiler and Champollion are available;
  • handling Starfield Guard syntax produced by Champollion.

Do not use this skill for plugin record edits, load-order edits, or BA2/BSA packing. Route those through the xEdit, load-order, or archive skills.

Prerequisites — detect first

Always query the live CLI before choosing a backend or game path:

powershell
bgs-papyrus capabilities --json
bgs-papyrus detect-toolchain --json --game starfield

The official Creation Kit must be installed by the user from Steam. Bethesda's PapyrusCompiler.exe is not bundled with this plugin and must not be copied into the repo or plugin tree. bgs-papyrus detects and drives the installed compiler.

Champollion is used for decompile. bgs-papyrus detects Champollion; it does not download it automatically. Install Champollion.exe at:

text
~/.bgs-modding-superpowers/tools/champollion/Champollion.exe

or the user can set BGS_PAPYRUS_CHAMPOLLION to an existing executable.

One PowerShell install shape for Champollion v1.3.2 from Orvid/Champollion releases:

powershell
$root = "$HOME\.bgs-modding-superpowers\tools\champollion"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $root | Out-Null; $zip = Join-Path $root "Champollion.v1.3.2.zip"; Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/Orvid/Champollion/releases/download/v1.3.2/Champollion.v1.3.2.zip" -OutFile $zip; Expand-Archive -Force $zip $root

Human manuals:

  • English: tools/bgs-papyrus/USER-GUIDE.en.md
  • Chinese: tools/bgs-papyrus/USER-GUIDE.zh-cn.md

Hard rules

  • Never write compiled .pex output into the game's Data folder or any Stock-Game tree.
  • Game-ready compiled output belongs in an MO2 mod overlay: <MO2_Root>/mods/<mod-name>/Scripts/.
  • Use --json for agent workflows and branch on the envelope, not human text.
  • Detect the toolchain before compile/decompile. Do not guess that a compiler path exists.
  • Starfield compile should use the official CK compiler for Guard syntax. Caprica and russo are non-Guard fallbacks.

Commands

Check bgs-papyrus --help and <subcommand> --help for the current option surface. The examples below are templates.

capabilities

Discover supported games, subcommands, backends, flags files, and Starfield syntax behavior.

powershell
bgs-papyrus capabilities --json
detect-toolchain [--game G]

Find installed official CK compilers and the Champollion decompiler.

powershell
bgs-papyrus detect-toolchain --json --game fallout4
bgs-papyrus detect-toolchain --json

Supported game arguments are skyrimle, skyrimse, fallout4, and starfield. Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Oblivion do not use Papyrus and are out of scope.

Show full SKILL.md (250 more words)Show less
compile <src> --game G

Compile one .psc file, or use --all for a directory.

powershell
bgs-papyrus compile "D:\work\Scripts\Source\MyQuestScript.psc" --json --game starfield --out "D:\work\compiled" --import "D:\work\Scripts\Source"

Useful options:

  • --out <dir>: output directory.
  • --import <dir>: source import directory; repeat for multiple roots.
  • --backend ck|caprica|russo|auto: compiler backend.
  • --flags <file>: explicit flags file.
  • --optimize, --release, --final, --all: compile options.

For final game use, copy the resulting .pex into an MO2 overlay:

text
<MO2_Root>/mods/<mod-name>/Scripts/

Never write the result to <game>/Data/Scripts/ directly.

decompile <src> --game G

Decompile one .pex file, or use --recursive for a directory.

powershell
bgs-papyrus decompile "D:\mods\Example\Scripts\MyQuestScript.pex" --json --game starfield --out "D:\work\decompiled"

Useful options:

  • --out <dir>: output directory.
  • --recursive: decompile a directory tree.
  • --threaded: use Champollion threaded mode where supported.
  • --sf-syntax-fix / --no-sf-syntax-fix: enable or disable Starfield syntax post-processing.

Starfield specifics

The official Starfield CK compiler handles Guard syntax natively. Champollion v1.3.2 guesses some Guard syntax in a form that the CK does not accept, so bgs-papyrus applies a validated Starfield syntax post-process during decompile:

text
Guard ... EndGuard       -> LockGuard ... EndLockGuard
TryGuard ... EndGuard    -> TryLockGuard ... EndTryLockGuard

This Guard rewrite was checked by recompiling the decompiled output through the real Starfield CK compiler.

Known limitation: Champollion v1.3.2 has unrelated decompile bugs, such as remote-event casts, that can stop complex vanilla scripts from recompiling cleanly. Treat decompiled output as a strong starting point and manually fix compiler-rejected constructs. The Guard post-processor is validated; this limitation is upstream Champollion.

Safe workflow pattern

  1. Run bgs-papyrus capabilities --json.
  2. Run bgs-papyrus detect-toolchain --json --game <game>.
  3. Compile or decompile with --json.
  4. For compile output, stage final .pex files only under <MO2_Root>/mods/<mod-name>/Scripts/.
  5. For decompile output intended for reuse, recompile it through the official CK compiler before claiming it is publishable.
