If there is a Windows installer file (.exe), click on it to download. If there is a
.zipfile, download it and then extract it to a folder on your computer. -
Once downloaded:

Once codex-skills is running, you can:
- Install new skills from trusted sources using manifests.
- Update existing skills cleanly without manual work.
- Scan skills for unsafe code to keep your environment secure.
- Validate skills to confirm they meet required guidelines.
- Sanitize skills to remove unsafe or unwanted parts.
To install or update a skill:
- Use the built-in commands, which will guide you step-by-step.
- You may be asked to provide a URL or file path for the skill's manifest.
- The manifest tells codex-skills what the skill contains and how to install it.
- Follow the prompts to complete the process.
You should regularly check for updates to codex-skills to ensure you have the latest features and fixes.
- Visit the GitHub page link above.
- Head to the "Releases" section.
- Download and install newer versions using the same process as the first installation.
Updates may include improvements for automation, better safety checks, and support for more tools.
codex-skills supports automation through manifest-driven setups, making it easier to apply updates across many skills at once.
- If you work with GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD services, codex-skills can fit into your workflow.
- It helps keep your skill libraries clean, validated, and ready to use without manual steps.
- This is useful in environments like Drupal or PHP projects where skills might be part of a bigger system.
One strong feature is the ability to scan skill code and content:
- Unsafe code is flagged.
- The software can clean or remove risky parts.
- You get detailed reports on problems so you know what needs fixing.
This reduces risks if you use third-party or community-created skills.
Some features, like installing new skills or updates, require internet access. Other functions, like scanning or validating, may work offline.
No programming skills are required. The tool uses clear prompts to guide you through tasks. Basic computer skills like downloading, opening files, and clicking buttons are enough.
Skills come with manifests—files that describe what to install and how. These are usually text files in JSON or YAML format but codex-skills hides the details from you.
Most common errors relate to missing permissions or internet connectivity. Make sure your antivirus or firewall is not blocking the program. Running as administrator can help.
After extraction or installation, you will see:
- bin/ — Main executables and scripts
- docs/ — User guides and manuals (if any)
- manifests/ — Sample skill manifests included for testing
- tools/ — Utility scripts to help with updates and checks
If you run into problems:
- Restart your computer and try opening codex-skills again.
- Make sure your Windows system is up to date.
- Verify you downloaded the latest release.
- Check your internet connection.
- Look for error messages and use them to search for solutions online or on GitHub issues.
If you want to remove codex-skills:
- If installed with an installer (.exe), open "Apps & Features" in Windows. Find "codex-skills" and click uninstall.
- If you used a
.zipfile, delete the extracted folder manually. - Remove any shortcuts or start menu entries you created.
