Composio's awesome-codex-skills Caught the Codex Skill Wave
Composio shipped awesome-codex-skills and it is jumping the GitHub trending list at 174 stars a day, 1,428 total. The repo is exactly what it sounds like: a curated list of 60+ practical skills for OpenAI's Codex, organized into five buckets (development, productivity, communication, data, meta). Codebase migration, GitHub PR review, CI fixing, MCP building, meeting notes, email drafting, Notion sync, log filtering. All written as instruction bundles Codex can load.
Composio is the team that built the 1000-plus apps for agents framework. Their bet for two years has been that whoever wraps the most external tools wins. With awesome-codex-skills they are extending that thesis into the Codex ecosystem specifically. Each skill is a recipe Codex executes via Composio's connectors.
Two timelines are running in parallel. Anthropic's Skills plus Matt Pocock's collection on one side. OpenAI's Codex skills plus Composio's collection on the other. The format is converging (Markdown plus scripts plus a manifest), and the meta-question is whether skills become portable across model vendors or stay siloed by ecosystem. Cross-running mattpocock/skills inside Codex would be the real test.
For agent builders right now, the practical move is to scan both repos, copy the patterns, and stop reinventing prompts. The skill-as-package model is going to win, and the people who already wrote the recipes are not waiting for you.
