Codex Skills Catalog

Installable skills for Codex. This repository is a “skills catalog”: each skill lives under skills/ and can be installed into your local Codex skills directory (typically ~/.codex/skills).

Install

Use the official npx installer to fetch skills from this repo and install them into your Codex skills directory (defaults to ~/.codex/skills, or $CODEX_HOME/skills if set).

Install one or more skills (recommended)

npx codex-skills-registry@latest --skill=design/frontend-design --yes

You can repeat --skill to install multiple skills:

npx codex-skills-registry@latest \
  --skill=design/frontend-design \
  --skill=quality/code-reviewer \
  --skill=security/security-compliance \
  --yes

List available skills

npx codex-skills-registry@latest --list

Install location and options

• --local: install into /.codex/skills instead of the global Codex skills directory.
• --dest=: explicit install root (overrides --local).
• Re-run the same command to update an installed skill; --yes overwrites without prompting.

Requirements and installer docs

• Requires Node.js and npm (so npx is available).
• Installer docs: https://github.com/vadimcomanescu/codex-skills-registry/tree/main/packages/codex-skills-registry

Restart Codex after installing to pick up new skills.

Repository Layout

This repo mirrors the common Codex “catalog” layout with categories:

• skills/.curated///: stable, recommended skills.
• skills/.experimental///: works-in-progress (APIs and wording may change more frequently).

Each skill folder contains:

• SKILL.md: the entrypoint. YAML frontmatter is intentionally minimal (name + description).
• LICENSE.txt: license for that skill’s contents.
• Optional references/, assets/, and scripts/.

Validation

Run the local validator before pushing:

python scripts/validate_skills.py

CI runs the same validator on PRs and pushes to main.

Contributing

• Keep skills self-contained and avoid adding new runtime dependencies unless necessary.
• Prefer small, copy/pasteable assets that work in real repos (for frontend-design, assume Next.js App Router).
• Keep SKILL.md concise; move deep detail into references/ (progressive disclosure).
