skill-installer
Install Codex skills from curated lists or custom GitHub repositories into your local skills directory.
- List available skills from the default curated collection or experimental/custom paths; installed skills are annotated in the output
- Install individual skills by name from the curated list, or install multiple skills from any GitHub repo (public or private) using repo paths or URLs
- Supports git sparse checkout as a fallback for authentication-protected repos; uses existing git credentials or optional
GITHUB_TOKENenvironment variable - Installs to
$CODEX_HOME/skills(defaults to~/.codex/skills) with configurable destination, ref, and installation method (auto, download, or git)
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.
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/.experimentalwhen 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.

pdf
Use when tasks involve reading, creating, or reviewing PDF files where rendering and layout matter; prefer visual checks by rendering pages (Poppler) and use Python tools such as `reportlab`, `pdfplumber`, and `pypdf` for generation and extraction.
3.3Kscreenshot
Use when the user explicitly asks for a desktop or system screenshot (full screen, specific app or window, or a pixel region), or when tool-specific capture capabilities are unavailable and an OS-level capture is needed.
3.0Ksecurity-best-practices
Perform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not trigger for general code review, debugging, or non-security tasks.
2.9Kplaywright
Use when the task requires automating a real browser from the terminal (navigation, form filling, snapshots, screenshots, data extraction, UI-flow debugging) via `playwright-cli` or the bundled wrapper script.
2.7Kfigma
Use the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Trigger when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting.
2.7Kfigma-implement-design
Translates Figma designs into production-ready application code with 1:1 visual fidelity. Use when implementing UI code from Figma files, when user mentions "implement design", "generate code", "implement component", provides Figma URLs, or asks to build components matching Figma specs. For Figma canvas writes via `use_figma`, use `figma-use`.
