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

You can install Codex skills from a GitHub repository by running the Python installation script with either the --repo flag for owner/repo paths or the --url flag for direct directory links. The script fetches, validates, and copies the skill into CODEX_HOME/skills.

What is the best way to discover available Codex skills for installation?▼

To discover available Codex skills, run the list-curated-skills Python script with the --format text flag. This queries the curated repository and displays available skills, simplifying the discovery workflow before installation.

Can I install a Codex skill from a private GitHub repository?▼

Yes, you can install skills from private GitHub repositories using the installation script's --repo and --path arguments. The script fetches and validates the specified skill directory containing SKILL.md before copying it.

Do I need Python to install Codex skills from curated lists?▼

Yes, Python is required to run the scripts that fetch, validate, and copy skill directories from curated lists or GitHub repositories. Network access is also necessary to retrieve the skill files during the installation process.

Where are installed Codex skills saved on my system?▼

Installed Codex skills are copied directly into the CODEX_HOME/skills directory. The installation script validates that each fetched directory contains a SKILL.md file before placing it in this target location.

What are the limitations when installing skills from external GitHub sources?▼

Limitations include requiring network access for fetching repositories and needing Python to execute the validation scripts. The installation process strictly requires a valid SKILL.md file within the target directory to succeed.
