Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way Codex does, and is maintained by softaworks in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the softaworks/agent-toolkit page.

  • How does Codex compare to other AI Engineering skills?

    Codex ranks #820 by stars among the 2451 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Codex against them.
