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.

• 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.
