What variant of Codex are you using?
App,CLI
What feature would you like to see?
I’d like Codex to support native skill management at the tool layer.
Specifically, I want to be able to create a named “skill kit”, choose a subset of currently available skills, and then run a task with Codex constrained to only that set of skills.
Example workflow:
- create a kit
- select a few skills into it
- run something like “using this kit, execute this task”
- Codex should only use skills inside that kit
This would be useful for reproducibility, tighter control, safer delegation, and keeping agents focused on a bounded skill set.

+1. Skill kits / scoped skill management would materially improve reproducibility. In practice I want to say “run this task with only this known set of skills” or define profiles for research, review, implementation, and release work.
That is different from letting the agent dynamically choose from every installed skill. For safety, focus, and repeatability, the caller should be able to constrain the model-visible skill surface for a session or task.
