One search for your own team's files and the public ecosystem. See how real projects write their agent instructions, and bring the good ideas home.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/playwright/SKILL.md
Use when the task requires automating a real browser from the terminal (navigation, form filling, snapshots, screenshots, data extraction, UI-flow debugging) via `playwright-cli` or the bundled wrapper script.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/render-deploy/SKILL.md
Deploy applications to Render by analyzing codebases, generating render.yaml Blueprints, and providing Dashboard deeplinks. Use when the user wants to deploy, host, publish, or set up their application on Render's cloud platform.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/screenshot/SKILL.md
Use when the user explicitly asks for a desktop or system screenshot (full screen, specific app or window, or a pixel region), or when tool-specific capture capabilities are unavailable and an OS-level capture is needed.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/security-best-practices/SKILL.md
Perform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not trigger for general code review, debugging, or non-security tasks.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/security-ownership-map/SKILL.md
Analyze git repositories to build a security ownership topology (people-to-file), compute bus factor and sensitive-code ownership, and export CSV/JSON for graph databases and visualization. Trigger only when the user explicitly wants a security-oriented ownership or bus-factor analysis grounded in git history (for example: orphaned sensitive code, security maintainers, CODEOWNERS reality checks for risk, sensitive hotspots, or ownership clusters). Do not trigger for general maintainer lists or non-security ownership questions.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/security-threat-model/SKILL.md
Repository-grounded threat modeling that enumerates trust boundaries, assets, attacker capabilities, abuse paths, and mitigations, and writes a concise Markdown threat model. Trigger only when the user explicitly asks to threat model a codebase or path, enumerate threats/abuse paths, or perform AppSec threat modeling. Do not trigger for general architecture summaries, code review, or non-security design work.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/sentry/SKILL.md
Use when the user asks to inspect Sentry issues or events, summarize recent production errors, or pull basic Sentry health data via the Sentry CLI; perform read-only queries using the `sentry` command.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/speech/SKILL.md
Use when the user asks for text-to-speech narration or voiceover, accessibility reads, audio prompts, or batch speech generation via the OpenAI Audio API; run the bundled CLI (`scripts/text_to_speech.py`) with built-in voices and require `OPENAI_API_KEY` for live calls. Custom voice creation is out of scope.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/transcribe/SKILL.md
Transcribe audio files to text with optional diarization and known-speaker hints. Use when a user asks to transcribe speech from audio/video, extract text from recordings, or label speakers in interviews or meetings.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/vercel-deploy/SKILL.md
Deploy applications and websites to Vercel. Use when the user requests deployment actions like "deploy my app", "deploy and give me the link", "push this live", or "create a preview deployment".
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/winui-app/SKILL.md
Bootstrap, develop, and design modern WinUI 3 desktop applications with C# and the Windows App SDK using official Microsoft guidance, WinUI Gallery patterns, Windows App SDK samples, and CommunityToolkit components. Use when creating a brand new app, preparing a machine for WinUI, reviewing, refactoring, planning, troubleshooting, environment-checking, or setting up WinUI 3 XAML, controls, navigation, windowing, theming, accessibility, responsiveness, performance, deployment, or related Windows app design and development work.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.curated/yeet/SKILL.md
Use only when the user explicitly asks to stage, commit, push, and open a GitHub pull request in one flow using the GitHub CLI (`gh`).
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.system/imagegen/SKILL.md
Generate or edit raster images when the task benefits from AI-created bitmap visuals such as photos, illustrations, textures, sprites, mockups, or transparent-background cutouts. Use when Codex should create a brand-new image, transform an existing image, or derive visual variants from references, and the output should be a bitmap asset rather than repo-native code or vector. Do not use when the task is better handled by editing existing SVG/vector/code-native assets, extending an established icon or logo system, or building the visual directly in HTML/CSS/canvas.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.system/openai-docs/SKILL.md
Use when the user asks how to build with OpenAI products or APIs, asks about Codex itself or choosing Codex surfaces, needs up-to-date official documentation with citations, help choosing the latest model for a use case, or model upgrade and prompt-upgrade guidance; use OpenAI docs MCP tools for non-Codex docs questions, use the Codex manual helper first for broad Codex self-knowledge, and restrict fallback browsing to official OpenAI domains.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.system/plugin-creator/SKILL.md
Create and scaffold plugin directories for Codex with a required `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, optional plugin folders/files, and baseline placeholders you can edit before publishing or testing. Use when Codex needs to create a new local plugin, add optional plugin structure, or generate or update repo-root `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` entries for plugin ordering and availability metadata.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.system/skill-creator/SKILL.md
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
OpenAISkillopenai/skills/skills/.system/skill-installer/SKILL.md
Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos).
OpenAISkillopenai/symphony/.codex/skills/commit/SKILL.md
- Produce a commit that reflects the actual code changes and the session context. - Follow common git conventions (type prefix, short subject, wrapped body). - Include both summary and rationale in the body. 1. Read session history to identify scope, intent, and rationale. 2. Inspect the working tree and staged changes (git status, git diff, git diff --staged). 3. Stage intended changes, including new files (git add -A) after confirming scope. 4. Sanity-check newly added files; if anything looks…
OpenAISkillopenai/symphony/.codex/skills/debug/SKILL.md
elixir/docs/logging.md requires these fields for issue/session lifecycle logs. Use them as your join keys during debugging. 1. Confirm scheduler/worker symptoms for the ticket. 2. Find recent lines for the ticket (issueidentifier first). 3. Extract sessionid from matching lines. 4. Trace that session_id across start, stream, completion/failure, and stall handling logs. 5. Decide class of failure: timeout/stall, app-server startup failure, turn failure, or orchestrator retry loop. 1. Locate the ticket slice: - Search by issueidentifier=<KEY>. - If noise is high, add…
OpenAISkillopenai/symphony/.codex/skills/land/SKILL.md
- Ensure the PR is conflict-free with main. - Keep CI green and fix failures when they occur. - Squash-merge the PR once checks pass. - Do not yield to the user until the PR is merged; keep the watcher loop running unless blocked. - No need to delete remote branches after merge; the repo auto-deletes head branches. 1. Locate the PR for the current branch. 2. Confirm the full gauntlet is green locally before any push. 3. If the…
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
