# Codex Profiles ## Overview Use `codex-profiles` when a user wants separate Codex CLI or Codex Desktop contexts for work, personal, school, client, or project-specific activity. The tool wraps Codex's `CODEX_HOME` support so each profile has its own Codex home directory for auth, config, sessions, connectors, plugins, caches, logs, and local state. This skill is for profile selection and operational safety around that boundary. It is not an official OpenAI project, and it does not provide full OS-level isolation. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user wants to keep multiple Codex accounts or project contexts separate on one machine. - Use when a workflow needs a different `CODEX_HOME` without manually exporting environment variables. - Use when diagnosing which Codex profile is active or whether profiles are logged in. - Use when the user asks about Codex account switching without copying `auth.json`. - Use when launching Codex Desktop from a profile, only after confirming the user accepts app/process disruption. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Confirm Scope and Installation First check whether the user wants CLI-only profile switching or Codex Desktop profile launching.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill codex-profiles --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
