--- name: skill-installer description: Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos). metadata: short-description: Install curated skills from openai/skills or other repos --- # Skill Installer Helps install skills. By default these are from https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.curated, but users can also provide other locations. Experimental skills live in https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.experimental and can be installed the same way. Use the helper scripts based on the task: - List skills when the user asks what is available, or if the user uses this skill without specifying what to do. Default listing is `.curated`, but you can pass `--path skills/.experimental` when they ask about experimental skills. - Install from the curated list when the user provides a skill name. - Install from another repo when the user provides a GitHub repo/path (including private repos). Install skills with the helper scripts. ## Communication When listing skills, output approximately as follows, depending on the context of the user's request. If they ask about experimental skills, list from `.experimental` instead of `.curated` and label the source accordingly: """ Skills from {repo}: 1. skill-1 2. skill-2 (already installed) 3. ... Which ones would you like installed? """ After installing a skill, tell the user: "Restart Codex to pick up new skills." ## Scripts All of these scripts use network, so when running in the sandbox, request escalation when running them. - `scripts/list-skills.py` (prints skills list with installed annotations) - `scripts/list-skills.py --format json` - Example (experimental list): `scripts/list-skills.py --path skills/.experimental` - `scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo <owner>/<repo> --path <path/to/skill> [<path/to/skill> ...] [... prompt truncated for preview ...]
