skill-installer
Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos).
npx skills add composio-community/awesome-codex-skills --skill skill-installer --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Skill Installer Helps install skills. By default these are from https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.curated, but users can also provide other locations. Use the helper scripts based on the task: - List curated skills when the user asks what is available, or if the user uses this skill without specifying what to do. - Install from the curated list when the user provides a skill name. - Install from another repo when the user provides a GitHub repo/path (including private repos). Install skills with the helper scripts. ## Communication When listing curated skills, output approximately as follows, depending on the context of the user's request: """ Skills from {repo}: 1. skill-1 2. skill-2 (already installed) 3. ... Which ones would you like installed? """ After installing a skill, tell the user: "Restart Codex to pick up new skills." ## Scripts All of these scripts use network, so when running in the sandbox, request escalation when running them. - `scripts/list-curated-skills.py` (prints curated list with installed annotations) - `scripts/list-curated-skills.py --format json` - `scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo <owner>/<repo> --path <path/to/skill> [<path

What does the skill-installer skill do?
Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add composio-community/awesome-codex-skills --skill skill-installer --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 composio-community/awesome-codex-skills, a repository with 15,591 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.
