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. Experimental skills live in https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.experimental and can be installed the same way.

When to Use

• The user asks what skills are installable or needs a specific skill installed (curated, experimental, or external).
• They provide a GitHub repo/path or curated name and expect Skill Installer to handle the download/install process.
• You are managing Codex skills and need to list, install, or document the results.

When NOT to Use

• The request has nothing to do with skills (general programming, documentation, design tasks).
• The skill already exists in $CODEX_HOME/skills and no installation is necessary.
• You're modifying a skill instead of installing a new one.

Use the helper scripts based on the task:

• List skills when the user asks what is available, or if the user uses this skill without specifying what to do. Default listing is .curated, but you can pass --path skills/.experimental when they ask about experimental skills.
• 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).
