FAQPage Schema
How do I install skills from a GitHub repository into Codex?▼

Install skills from GitHub by providing the repository path to the skill-installer. It clones or downloads the skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills, supporting both public and private repos with credentials. Restart Codex afterward to apply changes.

Can I install multiple skills at once from a curated list?▼

Yes, skill-installer lists available skills from curated sources and installs multiple skills in one operation. It validates each target location and prevents overwriting existing skills during batch installation.

What happens if a skill already exists in my $CODEX_HOME/skills directory?▼
