# Agent Skills for OpenAI Codex CLI
|
|
|
|
Use 192 production-ready agent skills with OpenAI Codex CLI. Every skill in this collection works natively with Codex via the `.codex/skills/` directory format.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Quick Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone the repository
|
|
git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
|
|
cd claude-skills
|
|
|
|
# Option 1: Install all skills for Codex
|
|
./scripts/codex-install.sh
|
|
|
|
# Option 2: Convert specific skills
|
|
./scripts/convert.sh --skill frontend-design --tool codex
|
|
./scripts/convert.sh --skill autoresearch-agent --tool codex
|
|
|
|
# Option 3: Convert all skills at once
|
|
./scripts/convert.sh --all --tool codex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How It Works
|
|
|
|
Codex reads agent skills from `.codex/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` in your project or home directory. The `convert.sh` script transforms Claude Code's SKILL.md format into Codex-compatible instructions, preserving all workflows, slash commands, and references.

## Codex-Specific Tips
|
|
|
|
### AGENTS.md Fallback
|
|
|
|
If your Codex setup uses `AGENTS.md` instead of the skills directory, you can use the generated agents file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Copy the bundled AGENTS.md to your project
|
|
cp claude-skills/agents/AGENTS.md ~/.codex/AGENTS.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using with `--full-auto`
|
|
|
|
Skills work seamlessly with Codex's auto-approval mode:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run a skill in full-auto mode
|
|
codex exec --full-auto "Use the frontend-design skill to build a dashboard component"
|
|
|
|
# Run autoresearch overnight
|
|
codex exec --full-auto "Use autoresearch-agent to optimize src/api/search.py for response time"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Project-Level vs Global
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Project-level (only this repo)
|
|
cp -r claude-skills/.codex/skills/ ./.codex/skills/
|
|
|
|
# Global (available everywhere)
|
|
cp -r claude-skills/.codex/skills/ ~/.codex/skills/
|
|
```
