What is this?
This is the author's personal collection of custom skills for the Codex AI agent, covering tasks like reading, writing, concept breakdown, paper summarization, and even relationship analysis.
This is the author's personal collection of custom skills for the Codex AI agent, covering tasks like reading, writing, concept breakdown, paper summarization, and even relationship analysis.Is this a standalone app or a skill library for Codex?It's a skill library: each skill is a folder of instructions (Org-mode or Markdown) that you install into Codex's skills directory, not a program you run by itself.
It's a skill library: each skill is a folder of instructions (Org-mode or Markdown) that you install into Codex's skills directory, not a program you run by itself.How do I install these skills into Codex?Use the 'skills' CLI with '-a codex' to target Codex and '-g' to install globally into ~/.agents/skills/ (recommended); use '--skill' to pick specific skills, or '--skill ''' to install all of them, with '-y' to skip confirmation or '-l' to just list what's available.
