Install Guide
How to install a Codex skill
The safest way to install a skill is to download the zip, inspect the contents, read SKILL.md, and only then move the package into the local skills directory used by your agent environment.
Basic install flow
Download the zip from a ShowUskills detail page. Extract the package into a temporary folder first, not directly into a live skills folder. Open SKILL.md and check the name, description, trigger condition, required tools, and any safety notes.
If the skill matches your workflow and does not request unsafe permissions, move the extracted skill folder into your local agent skills directory. Restart or reload the agent if your client requires it.
Safety checks before use
Do not use a skill blindly if it asks for secrets, wallet keys, paid API credentials, destructive file operations, or network access you do not understand. Treat the skill like source code: inspect it before trusting it.
ShowUskills public pages include risk level, package size, included skill count, and SHA-256 package hash so users can verify they are using the expected file.
