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

To install Codex skills from a GitHub repository, provide a valid public or private repo path. The installer validates the skill directory by checking for a root SKILL.md file before copying it into your local Codex skills folder.

Can I list available Codex skills before installing them?

Yes, you can list available Codex skills from the curated catalog. The installer will also mark which skills are already installed locally, helping you discover and manage new workflows without guessing repository paths.

Does the Codex skill installer work with private GitHub repositories?

Yes, the Codex skill installer handles private GitHub repositories. It falls back to git-based retrieval when direct download is unavailable, ensuring you can fetch skills from private sources if you have access.

What is the best way to add a shared Codex skill to my local directory?

The best way to add a shared Codex skill is to ask the assistant to install it from the GitHub repo path provided by your team member. The installer automatically validates the SKILL.md file and copies the directory with minimal setup.

Why does my GitHub skill installation fail during directory validation?

Skill installation fails during validation if the target directory does not contain a root SKILL.md file. The installer strictly checks for this file before copying the directory into your Codex skills folder to prevent invalid workflows.
