Can I install skills from private GitHub repositories?

Yes, the Skill Installer can access private repositories using your local Git credentials or an optional GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN environment variable.

Will it overwrite my existing skills?

By default, the installer will abort if the destination skill directory already exists to protect your existing configurations from being overwritten.

Does it support specific branches or subdirectories?

Yes, you can specify a specific git reference using the --ref option and provide multiple paths for subdirectories within a single repository.

Where are skills installed by default?

Skills are installed into the $CODEX_HOME/skills directory, which typically defaults to ~/.codex/skills on your local system.

How do I make a newly installed skill active?

Once the installation script finishes, you must restart Codex (or your Claude Code session) to pick up and initialize the new skills.
