What's inside OpenAI Skills

  1. What are Agent Skills

    main
    Agent Skills are standardized packages consisting of instructions, scripts, and resources that allow AI agents to discover and execute specific tasks. They are designed to be portable ('write once, use everywhere') and are used by Codex to package repeatable capabilities for teams and individuals.

  2. Install Agent Skills in Codex

    main

    Skills are categorized by their installation method:

    1. Automatic Installation: Skills located in the .system/ directory are automatically installed in the latest version of Codex.
    2. Curated Skills: Can be installed by name using the $skill-installer command. These default to the skills/.curated directory.
    3. Experimental Skills: Must be installed by specifying the skill folder or a GitHub directory URL.

    Note: You must restart Codex after installing a skill for the changes to take effect.

    # Install a curated skill by name
$skill-installer gh-address-comments

# Install an experimental skill by specifying the folder
$skill-installer install skills/.experimental/create-plan

# Install an experimental skill using a GitHub directory URL
$skill-installer install https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.experimental/create-plan
