awesome-codex-skills

A curated list of practical Codex skills for automating workflows across the Codex CLI and API.

Give your skills real-world actions

Skills tell your agent how to work. An MCP Gateway gives it secure access to the tools it needs.

Composio MCP Gateway provides a single MCP endpoint for 1,000+ integrations with built-in authentication, team-based access controls, audit logs, and production-ready reliability.

Quickstart: Add Skills to Codex

Install with the Skill Installer (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-codex-skills.git
cd awesome-codex-skills
# Install one or more skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills (defaults to ~/.codex/skills)
python skill-installer/scripts/install-skill-from-github.py --repo ComposioHQ/awesome-codex-skills --path meeting-notes-and-actions

The installer fetches the skill and places it in $CODEX_HOME/skills/<skill-name>. Restart Codex to pick up new skills.

Manual install

• Copy the desired skill folder (e.g., ./spreadsheet-formula-helper) into $CODEX_HOME/skills/ (defaults to ~/.codex/skills/).

• Restart Codex so it loads the new metadata.

• In your next session, describe the task or mention the skill name; Codex will trigger matching skills based on their description frontmatter.

What Are Codex Skills?

Codex skills are modular instruction bundles that tell Codex how to execute a task the way you want it done. Each skill lives in its own folder with a SKILL.md that includes metadata (name + description) and step-by-step guidance. Codex reads the metadata to decide when to trigger a skill and loads the body only after it fires, keeping context lean.
