LABSCO SUMMARY
A handful are genuinely for any Codex user: imagegen generates or edits raster images, openai-docs answers questions about Codex's own pricing, settings, and models, and skill-creator plus skill-installer let you author a new skill or pull one in from a curated list or another GitHub repo. babysit-pr will poll a pull request's CI and review comments until it merges, which is useful on any repo, not just Codex's own.
The rest are the Codex team's internal tooling, and several of the descriptions say so with almost nothing else attached — code-breaking-changes is described only as "Breaking changes", code-review-context only as "Model visible context", test-tui as a guide to testing the Codex terminal UI. These exist to keep Codex's own code review and release process consistent; update-v8-version bumps the pinned V8/rusty_v8 build the CLI embeds, and path-types picks Rust types for filesystem paths in this codebase specifically.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
Who this is for. Someone using Codex day to day gets real value from four or five of the nineteen — the rest only fire if you are contributing to openai/codex itself, and a couple of the thinnest descriptions (code-review-testing, remote-tests) give an outside reader little to go on beyond their name.
imagegen and skill-installer both carry a cost or credential most of the rest don't. The documented CLI fallback path for imagegen requires a paid OPENAI_API_KEY, even though Codex's built-in image mode needs nothing extra. skill-installer needs a GITHUB_TOKEN to pull a skill from a private repo, though installing from the curated list does not.
Checked 19 September 2026 against the live skill set and the repository README; several of the internal skills' descriptions are too short to say more about them without guessing.

SETUP
Showing all 4 skills
imagegen
Picture-making for whatever you are building — a new image from a description, or a change to one you already have, saved into the project ready to use.
openai-docs
Answers questions about Codex and OpenAI's other products by going to read the official documentation first and citing the page, instead of recalling something that may be out of date.
skill-creator
Writes a new Codex skill, or tidies up one you already have — instructions kept to what Codex would not already know, and a description narrow enough not to grab unrelated requests.
skill-installer
Downloads another Codex skill - from OpenAI's own list, or from any GitHub repository you point it at, private ones included - and puts it where Codex will find it.
No skill in this package matches that.
