awesome-codex-skills

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 →

Quickstart: Add Skills to Codex

Install with the Skill Installer (recommended)

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/<skill-name>. 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.

What Are Codex Skills?

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 - 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). Install: python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-installer/scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo hyhmrright/brooks-lint --path skills/brooks-lint --name brooks-lint
• bringyour-migration-auditor - Audit Claude Code to Codex harness migrations for AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md scope, hooks, MCP config, skills, secrets, and validation notes. Install: python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-installer/scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo unitedideas/bringyour-mcp --path skills/bringyour-migration-auditor --name bringyour-migration-auditor
• codebase-migrate/ - Run large codebase migrations and multi-file refactors in reviewable batches with CI verification.
• codebase-recon - Analyze git history to understand a codebase before reading any code — surfaces hotspots, bug magnets, bus factor, momentum, and high-risk files (hotspot ∩ bug-magnet) via auto-scaled analysis. Install: python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-installer/scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo yujiachen-y/codebase-recon-skill --path skills/codebase-recon --name codebase-recon
• create-plan/ - Quickly draft concise execution plans for coding tasks.
• deploy-pipeline/ - End-to-end Stripe → Supabase → Vercel release pipelines with verify and rollback.
• Emdash Skills - 14-category autonomous product-building OS: CF Workers + Hono + Angular + D1 + Stripe. One-line prompts to deployed SaaS with 94 reference docs, 18 agents, and Codex-native .agents/skills/ support.
• gh-address-comments/ - Address review or issue comments on the open GitHub PR for the current branch using gh.
• gh-fix-ci/ - Inspect failing GitHub Actions checks, summarize failures, and propose fixes.
• mcp-builder/ - Build and evaluate MCP servers with best practices and an evaluation harness.
• pr-review-ci-fix/ - Automated GitHub/GitLab PR review plus CI auto-fix loop via the Composio CLI.
• sentry-triage/ - Diagnose Sentry issues by mapping stack frames to local source — no copy-paste.
• webapp-testing/ - Run targeted web app tests and summarize results.
• AuraKit - All-in-one skill framework: 46 modes, 23 sub-agents, 6-layer OWASP security, 10 lifecycle hooks, ~55% token savings. Install: npx @smorky85/aurakit
• Vibe-Skills - Governed Codex skill harness for staged, test-driven work: routes 340+ skills through requirement freeze, plan approval, execution, verification evidence, and cross-session memory.
• polywave - Parallel agent coordination with structural merge safety. Scout decomposes, Wave agents implement in isolated worktrees with disjoint file ownership. Same protocol on Claude Code and Codex.
