openai/skills Catalog — What to Install on Codex in July 2026
The official openai/skills repo is the new default starting point: skill-installer, Figma implement, gh-fix-ci, Sentry, Notion, Playwright, and security packs — plus modern .agents/skills paths.
Through mid-2026 the Agent Skills ecosystem exploded — Anthropic’s reference skills, community hubs, and OpenAI’s own openai/skills catalog (20k+ stars). If you last installed Skills by copying random GitHub folders, it is time for a refresh.
Why the official catalog matters now
- .system skills —
skill-installer,skill-creator,openai-docs,plugin-creator,imagegenship with the catalog story. - .curated skills — reviewed installables for Figma, GitHub CI, Sentry, Linear, Vercel, Notion, Playwright, PDF, security.
- Plugins by default — mid-2026 Codex moved remote plugins toward stable defaults; Skills remain the authoring format, plugins the distribution unit.
- Shared paths — prefer
.agents/skills/and~/.agents/skills/so the same SKILL.md works across Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code.
Install in minutes
- Open Codex CLI / TUI and run
$skill-installer pdf(orgh-fix-ci,sentry, …). - Or clone
openai/skillsand copy a folder fromskills/.curated/into.agents/skills/<name>/. - Restart the session so Codex rescans skill metadata (progressive disclosure loads the full SKILL.md only when used).
- Test on a small task before wiring the skill into a weekly pipeline.
Our July 2026 shortlist
- skill-installer / skill-creator — expand and author skills without hunting repos.
- figma-implement-design — design → working UI inside the agent loop.
- gh-fix-ci — diagnose and repair failing Actions from the session.
- sentry — production stack traces → targeted fixes.
- notion-* — capture research and meeting knowledge where the team already works.
- vercel-deploy / playwright — ship and verify web deliverables Codex builds.
Where to browse next
We rebuilt the Skills page around this catalog — official picks first, then reports, data, Figma/web, engineering, workflow, and quality. For non-dev setup basics see Skills without coding; for review rules see AGENTS.md Code Review.
Fresh Skills beat long pasted prompts. Start with the official installer, keep playbooks in .agents/skills, and let Codex load only what the task needs.
