fieldwork-skills: Instructions file for Codex

fieldwork-skills Agent Installation Guide

fieldwork-skills is a collection of AI agent skills by buildoak. Each skill lives in skills/<skillname>/ and includes a SKILL.md runbook plus update metadata.

Critical Runtime Rules

• Codex CLI reads instructions from the repository root AGENTS.md only.
• Codex CLI does not read codex.md and does not read .codex/skills/.
• Claude Code reads skills from .claude/skills/<skillname>/SKILL.md.

List Available Skills

Skills are the folders inside skills/.

ls -1 skills/

Current skills:

• agent-mux
• browser-ops
• chatgpt-search
• google-workspace-ops
• gsd-coordinator
• image-gen
• summarize
• trueskill-rank
• vault
• web-search

Install One Skill

Replace <skillname> with a folder name from skills/.

Claude Code:

mkdir -p /path/to/your-project/.claude/skills
cp -R skills/<skillname> /path/to/your-project/.claude/skills/<skillname>

Codex CLI (append this skill's instructions to the target project's root AGENTS.md):

touch /path/to/your-project/AGENTS.md
{
  echo
  echo "<!-- fieldwork-skill:<skillname> -->"
  cat skills/<skillname>/SKILL.md
} >> /path/to/your-project/AGENTS.md

Install All Skills

Claude Code:

mkdir -p /path/to/your-project/.claude/skills
for d in skills/*/; do
  cp -R "$d" "/path/to/your-project/.claude/skills/$(basename "$d")"
done

Codex CLI (append all skill runbooks into the target project's root AGENTS.md):

touch /path/to/your-project/AGENTS.md
for f in skills/*/SKILL.md; do
  skill="$(basename "$(dirname "$f")")"
  {
    echo
    echo "<!-- fieldwork-skill:${skill} -->"
    cat "$f"
  } >> /path/to/your-project/AGENTS.md
done

Install Runtime Dependencies

After copying skill folders, read each skill's SKILL.md for runtime dependency setup. Skills may require brew packages, pip packages, npm packages, API keys, or other prerequisites. Each SKILL.md has a "Setup" section with the specific instructions. For a detailed walkthrough, see references/installation-guide.md inside each skill directory.
