Codex

Install, invoke, update, and remove Agent Skills in Codex.

01

Install one skill or the full library

Install one workflow globally:

$npx skills add tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills --skill remove-ai-slop -g -a codex -y

Or install every catalog skill globally:

$npx skills add tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills -g -a codex -y

02

Choose global or project scope

Global skills are available across projects from ~/.codex/skills. Project skills live in .agents/skills and can be reviewed with the repository.

Omit -g for project scope:

$npx skills add tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills --skill remove-ai-slop -a codex -y

03

Invoke the workflow

Explicit invocation: $remove-ai-slop or /skills

Natural-language requests can also trigger a skill when its description matches. Use explicit invocation when you want deterministic selection.

04

Update and remove

Update the global copy:

$npx skills update -g remove-ai-slop

Remove it only from Codex:

$npx skills remove remove-ai-slop -g -a codex -y

05

Reload after changes

Skills reload automatically; restart Codex if a newly added skill is missing.

If discovery still looks stale, verify the folder contains SKILL.md at its top level before restarting the runtime.

06

Known runtime limits

  • Tool availability and approvals depend on the Codex environment. A skill can request a capability but cannot grant it.
  • A skill can be disabled in ~/.codex/config.toml if you need to keep it installed but out of discovery.
  • OpenAI plugin packaging is outside this library's v1; Codex support here uses local Agent Skills.
