How to Install Codex Skills

Find and install Codex skills safely using the source repository or a plugin browser, depending on how the capability is distributed.

There are two installation models

1. Plugin-bundled skills

Current Codex plugins can bundle skills, MCP configuration, commands and other surfaces. In Codex CLI, use /plugins to open the plugin browser, install the parent plugin, then start a fresh session if required by the current product flow.

2. Repository-distributed skills

Community skill repositories may document their own installer. Artifiner shows a copyable installer only when the source repository documents a reusable pattern.

How Artifiner verifies install and source information

  • Keep the canonical GitHub source.
  • Distinguish bundled skills from standalone repositories.
  • Never invent a per-plugin CLI command.
  • Keep un-enriched source-only pages out of the sitemap.

Installation and capability behavior can change as repositories evolve. Use this guide to understand the model, then open the relevant entity page and follow its canonical source for the current command, manifest, endpoint or prerequisite. This keeps the editorial explanation useful without turning a static guide into a substitute for upstream documentation.
