Installation
This repository separates Skill development source from the local public installation surface.
Paths
Development source:
C:\Users\wangq\Documents\Codex\skills-vault
Public local Skill installation surface:
C:\Users\wangq\.agents\skills
Agent-specific private Skill folders, such as C:\Users\wangq\.claude\skills, should link to the public installation surface instead of linking directly to the development source.
Conda Environment
Use the shared repository environment by default:
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate skills-vault
If the environment already exists:
conda activate skills-vault
If conda env create -f environment.yml fails in Codex or another non-interactive Windows shell because of progress output, solver plugin, or root environment directory issues, create the environment explicitly under the user env directory:
C:\Users\wangq\miniconda3\Scripts\conda.exe create -p C:\Users\wangq\.conda\envs\skills-vault python=3.11 pip -y --json --solver classic
Then use:
conda activate C:\Users\wangq\.conda\envs\skills-vault
Most lightweight Skills should use this shared environment. Create a dedicated environment only when a Skill has conflicting or heavy dependencies.
Install One Skill
PowerShell:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install-skill.ps1 -Skill fix-title
Git Bash / Linux / macOS:
bash scripts/install-skill.sh fix-title
Install All Default Skills
PowerShell:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install-skill.ps1 -All
Git Bash / Linux / macOS:
bash scripts/install-skill.sh --all
Full installation uses registry/skills-index.md and installs only Skills with:
Status: tested, installable, or installed
Install Policy: default
Conditional, optional, disabled, deprecated, and archived Skills are skipped during full installation.
Updating An Existing Installed Skill
By default, install scripts refuse to overwrite an existing Skill.
Use -Force or --force to back up the current installed directory and copy the repository version:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install-skill.ps1 -Skill fix-title -Force
bash scripts/install-skill.sh fix-title --force
Backups are created next to the installed Skill:
C:\Users\wangq\.agents\skills\fix-title.backup-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
Claude Link
To create or update the Claude private Skill entry as a link to the public installation surface:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install-skill.ps1 -Skill fix-title -InstallClaudeLink
bash scripts/install-skill.sh fix-title --install-claude-link
Codex is not currently treated as a separate private install target for these shared automation Skills.
