Frequently Asked Questions about skill-installer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

To install Codex skills from a GitHub repository, the skill-installer fetches and validates directories from curated sources or direct URLs, copying them into your CODEX_HOME/skills folder using sparse git checkout or direct download.

What is the best way to list available Codex skills before installing them?▼

Listing available Codex skills is handled by running the list-skills.py Python script, which queries curated sources and GitHub paths to display installable skill directories before you commit to an installation.

Can I install skills from private GitHub repositories into CODEX_HOME?▼

Yes, you can install skills from private GitHub repositories into CODEX_HOME by providing the necessary URL or owner/repo paths, allowing the script to authenticate and fetch the skill directories securely.

Does the skill-installer overwrite existing skill directories in CODEX_HOME?▼

No, the skill-installer includes safety checks to prevent overwriting existing skill directories in your CODEX_HOME/skills path, ensuring your current skill configurations remain protected during new installations.

Do I need Python to automate Codex skill installation from curated lists?▼

Yes, you need Python to automate Codex skill installation because the tool relies on Python scripts like install-skill-from-github.py and list-skills.py to process network access, validate directories, and execute the installation.

Why does my Codex skill installation from a GitHub path fail?▼

Codex skill installation from a GitHub path may fail due to network access issues during fetch, invalid directory structures failing validation, or incorrect owner/repo paths provided to the installation script.
