A curated list of practical Codex skills for automating workflows across the Codex CLI and API. > **Want skills that do more than generate text?** Codex can send emails, create issues, post to Slack, and take actions across 1000+ apps. [See how →](./connect/) --- ## Quickstart: Add Skills to Codex ### Install with the Skill Installer (recommended) ```bash git clone https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-codex-skills.git cd awesome-codex-skills # Install one or more skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills (defaults to ~/.codex/skills) python skill-installer/scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo ComposioHQ/awesome-codex-skills --path meeting-notes-and-actions ``` The installer fetches the skill and places it in `$CODEX_HOME/skills/`. Restart Codex to pick up new skills. ### Manual install 1. Copy the desired skill folder (e.g., `./spreadsheet-formula-helper`) into `$CODEX_HOME/skills/` (defaults to `~/.codex/skills/`). 2. Restart Codex so it loads the new metadata. 3. In your next session, describe the task or mention the skill name; Codex will trigger matching skills based on their `description` frontmatter. --- ## Contents - [Bernstein](https://github.com/chernistry/bernstein) - Multi-agent orchestrator with Codex CLI adapter.

Codex skills are modular instruction bundles that tell Codex how to execute a task the way you want it done. Each skill lives in its own folder with a `SKILL.md` that includes metadata (name + description) and step-by-step guidance. Codex reads the metadata to decide when to trigger a skill and loads the body only after it fires, keeping context lean. ## Skills ### Development & Code Tools - [brooks-lint](https://github.com/hyhmrright/brooks-lint) - AI code reviews grounded in six classic engineering books — decay risk diagnostics with book citations, severity labels, and four analysis modes (PR review, architecture audit, tech debt, test quality).

Each subfolder needs a `SKILL.md` with `name` and `description` frontmatter. - After installing or updating a skill, restart Codex so it reloads metadata. - In a session, describe the task naturally; Codex auto-triggers skills whose descriptions match the request. You can also mention a skill by name if you want it considered. - To verify installation, list installed skills (`ls ~/.codex/skills`) and inspect metadata (`head ~/.codex/skills//SKILL.md`). ## Creating Skills Skill layout: ``` skill-name/ ├── SKILL.md # Required: instructions + YAML frontmatter ├── scripts/ # Optional: helper scripts for deterministic steps ├── references/ # Optional: long-form docs loaded only when needed └── assets/ # Optional: templates or files used in outputs ``` Basic SKILL.md template: ```markdown --- name: my-skill-name description: What the skill does and when Codex should use it. --- # My Skill Name Clear instructions and steps for Codex to execute the task. ``` Best practices: - Keep the `description` exhaustive about when to trigger; keep the body focused on execution steps. - Use progressive disclosure: put detailed references in `references/` and call them out from `SKILL.md` only when needed. - Include scripts for repeatable or deterministic operations; mention when Codex should run them. - Avoid extra docs (README, changelog) inside the skill folder to keep context lean. ## Contributing PRs welcome. Add real, reusable skills, keep descriptions precise, and include any needed scripts or references. If you add new skills, ensure the `description` clearly states when Codex should trigger and test that metadata fits within context limits. ## Join the Community - [Join our Discord](https://discord.com/invite/composio) - Chat with other developers building Codex skills. - [Follow on X](https://twitter.com/composio) - Updates on new skills and features. - Questions?
