codex-prompting
Use this skill for any request to trigger, coordinate, or craft prompts for Codex. Use when user says 'send to codex', 'use codex', 'prompt codex', 'ask codex', 'delegate to codex', 'run in codex', or asks for a Codex-first execution handoff.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/joelhooks/joelclaw --skill codex-prompting- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads codex-prompting automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Codex prompting
Turn the user's request into a bounded task and execute the requested handoff. State the outcome, repository and relevant paths, constraints, write authority, and evidence required for completion. Omit sections that do not help the task.
Model and harness
Honor an explicitly requested model. Otherwise resolve the configured runtime role or inference catalog. Verify availability through the active harness; an old model name in a skill is not configuration. Record the actual model and settings for evaluations.
Use available tools by their real names. Read codex exec --help for CLI flags. Follow the active harness's sandbox, approval, progress-update, and instruction-priority rules. A rejected action is not permission to weaken those controls or retry an equivalent command.
Execution
A clear action request authorizes the necessary work within its scope. Do not stop at a plan or ask again for permission already given. Ask only when a missing decision materially affects the outcome; continue independent work meanwhile.
Load relevant domain skills, not a generic checklist of every infrastructure skill. Keep user instructions above skill preferences. If a skill would block authorized work, name the exact file and rule and resolve the conflict by instruction priority.
For delegation, use the operator's configured orchestration workflow. Give each worker a bounded result and explicit write scope; preserve other sessions' edits. Use completion events or bounded waits, with useful work between checks.
Verification and report
Run checks appropriate to the change. A typo edit needs diff inspection; a behavior change needs evidence for the affected behavior. Do not add repetitive tests or repeat a passing suite without new evidence.
Return the result, artifact or commit, checks and outcomes, and exact unresolved limitations. Do not claim execution, deployment, or delivery from a proposed command.
For prompt changes, consult current official model guidance and compare old/new behavior with harmless fixtures. A model explaining an instruction is a comprehension check, not proof of operational reliability.

How do I install codex-prompting?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/joelhooks/joelclaw --skill codex-prompting in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/codex-prompting/ (personal) or .claude/skills/codex-prompting/ (project).
Which AI agents can use codex-prompting?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is codex-prompting safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
