How to install Skills (DannyMac180) in Codex

In Codex, ask the built-in skill installer for it:

$skill-installer install https://github.com/DannyMac180/skills/tree/main/<skill>

Type this in Codex and replace <skill> with a folder name from 'What it contains'. $skill-installer is the skill installer built into Codex, and it downloads the skill from GitHub. Restart Codex if the skill doesn't show up. Check the repo README for any setup it needs. Source: Codex skills docs.

Or copy the skill folder (the one with SKILL.md) into ~/.agents/skills to use it in every project, or into .agents/skills in a repo to share it with that repo. Codex picks up new skills automatically. (where Codex loads skills)

  • codex-relay — Open one new native Codex task with a compact handoff, end this turn, and receive a single completion or blocker message back. Use when the user invokes $codex-relay and asks to open a new task, optionally naming a model or reasoning effort.
  • explain-this — Explain any digital artifact — a paper, PDF, article, code diff, or codebase — so the person actually understands it, not just skims it. Explanations are shaped by a persistent learner profile, gated by comprehension quizzes, and feed a spaced-repetition…
  • modsmith — Patterns, cost review and ready templates for Claude Mods (Claude Code plugins whose behaviour is a function-hooks module). Adds what the built-in mod authoring does not: proven designs (fork-check-draw, tool + ledger, mode registry, artifact-backed state)…
