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

You can install curated Codex skills by requesting the skill-installer to fetch the repository, validate SKILL.md presence, and copy the skill into CODEX_HOME/skills in one step.

Can I install skills from private GitHub repositories?▼

Yes, you can install skills from private GitHub repositories. The installer fetches remote repos and applies sparse-checkout to retrieve the specific skill files into your local environment.

How do I list available curated skills for installation?▼

You can list available curated skills by requesting the skill-installer to fetch the central curated list, which queries the repository to display all Codex skills ready for deployment.

Does the skill installer validate SKILL.md before copying files?▼

Yes, the installer validates the presence of SKILL.md before copying. It checks the fetched repo to ensure the required metadata file exists, preventing invalid skill installations in CODEX_HOME/skills.

What is the best way to deploy new Codex skills from remote repos?▼

The best way to deploy new Codex skills is using the installer to fetch curated lists or remote repos, validate SKILL.md, and copy files into CODEX_HOME/skills, reducing manual setup time.

Are there limitations when fetching skills from GitHub repos?▼

A key limitation is that the installer requires a valid SKILL.md file in the target repo; if validation fails, the skill will not be copied into CODEX_HOME/skills, halting the installation process.
