What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 89 files.
-
advisor
Consult an independent, read-only GPT-6 Astra advisor before committing to a substantive interpretation, approach, or final result. Not for routine work, implementation, or file edits. Uses gpt-6-astra at an effort matched to the question.
codex/advisor/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
beamer
House rules and craft for LaTeX Beamer decks (storyboarding, slide prose, frame budgets, layout, XeLaTeX and Korean fonts, color, figures, Overleaf hygiene, build QA). Use to write, edit, review, or build a Beamer deck.
codex/beamer/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
citation-check
Audit a manuscript's citations for fabricated sources, DOIs that resolve to the wrong work, in-text and reference-list mismatches, style, and claim support, verified against Crossref and OpenAlex. Use to check citations, references, a .bib file, or DOIs.
codex/citation-check/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
conjoint-cleaning
Turns a raw Qualtrics conjoint export into analysis-ready long-format data: implementation identification, reshaping, choice-profile alignment, reference categories, and pilot exclusion. Use when a conjoint CSV needs cleaning, reshaping, or debugging before AMCE estimation.
codex/conjoint-cleaning/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
conjoint-design
Designs conjoint and factorial-vignette experiments: attributes and restrictions, effective-N power, estimand choice among AMCE, marginal means, and AMIE, forced choice versus rating, and PAP tiers. Use when planning a conjoint, critiquing an attribute table, sizing respondents and tasks, or testing interactions.
codex/conjoint-design/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
conjoint-diagnostics
Reviews an existing conjoint study for threats to inference and returns severity-ranked findings on design, estimation, measurement error, external validity, and interpretation. Use when checking whether a conjoint design or analysis holds up, or answering referee comments on one.
codex/conjoint-diagnostics/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
cross-national-design
Designs multi-country survey experiments: case selection, localization and TRAPD translation, stimulus calibration, per-country power, and pooled versus per-country analysis with measurement-equivalence checks. Use when fielding the same experiment in several countries.
codex/cross-national-design/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
deliverable-intake
Turns dictated captures in a deliverable's inbox/ into a proposed planning-wiki diff, classifying and tracing each statement; decisions need the author's assent. Use to intake notes or process the inbox.
codex/deliverable-intake/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
deliverable-lint
Reviews a whole deliverable against its manifest without rewriting it — deterministic gate, per-section finders, a whole-work pass, and adjudicated findings.json and report.md with honest coverage. Use before shipping a deliverable or for the night shift.
codex/deliverable-lint/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
deliverable-open
Opens a talk, module, paper, chapter, or referee report as a multi-session deliverable. Interviews the author, then scaffolds deliverable.yml, HANDOFF.md, the planning/ wiki, inbox/, and checks/. Use for deadline-driven work spanning sessions.
codex/deliverable-open/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
diverge
Generates 3-5 conceptually distinct approaches (Novel, Surprising, Diverse, Conventional) and holds for selection before implementing. Use before committing to an approach when a task has more than one non-obvious solution; --codex delegates the brainstorm to a fresh subagent.
codex/diverge/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
doc-to-markdown
Read or convert documents (PDF, Office, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV) in a research workflow: read directly or convert, pick the converter from document structure, and decide whether the Markdown is tracked or scratch. Use when a document must be read, quoted, summarized, searched, extracted, or added to a source library; scans go to $vlm-ocr.
codex/doc-to-markdown/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
fact-check
Fact-check manuscript claims against their cited sources in a per-source Markdown knowledge base. Use to audit claim support, overclaiming, direction, scope, and misattribution after source intake is complete.
codex/fact-check/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
figure-table-audit
End-stage QA for a finished figure and table set (callouts, numbering, cross-references, text-to-exhibit consistency, captions and notes, accessibility, SI and replication linkage). Use when preparing a submission.
codex/figure-table-audit/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
figures
Design and format publication-quality figures. Use for chart choice, color, scales, legends, captions, accessibility, and reproducible figure workflows.
codex/figures/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
finished
End-of-session closure. Records what changed into the project's own handoff and log files, separating verified from attempted work, and reports what is uncommitted. Use when wrapping up a session. Twin of sitrep.
codex/finished/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
hypothesis-building
Turns a theory into falsifiable, pre-registerable hypotheses: DGP and DAG, identification, estimands, SESOIs, test choice among NHST, equivalence, and minimum-effect tests, scope conditions, and hypothesis tiers. Use when converting a research question into testable predictions or predicting a null.
codex/hypothesis-building/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
journal-review
Draft a referee report on someone else's manuscript for a journal editor, using a claim ledger, five adversarial finders, a Blue Team that tests their evidence in both directions, a Chief Reviewer synthesis, a Tone Guard legal pass, and a quote check. Use when the user has been asked to referee a manuscript; self-audits go to paper-review-lite or presubmit, author responses to referee-response.
codex/journal-review/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
list-experiment
Designs and diagnoses list experiments (the item count technique): whether indirect measurement is warranted, control-list construction, design variants, estimators and assumption tests in the list package, and power. Use when measuring a sensitive item or debugging an implausible prevalence estimate.
codex/list-experiment/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
literature-review
Builds or audits a literature review: evidence map, closest prior work, gap verdict, and synthesis plan. Use to check whether a contribution is novel, map what a literature establishes, or organize a review; systematic reviews get a protocol scaffold.
codex/literature-review/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
llm-calibration-logprobs
Reads a model's own uncertainty from token log-probabilities: collecting and aggregating label logprobs, confidence tiers and margins for triage, calibration against human labels (ECE, Brier, reliability diagrams), downstream use, and reproducibility. Use for per-item classifier confidence or routing low-confidence cases to human review; codebook and validation design go to text-classification.
codex/llm-calibration-logprobs/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
methods-reporting
Audit a methods section against a 45-item checklist drawn from the APSA Experimental Section rubric, JARS-Quant, CONSORT, and DA-RT. Use before submission or archiving, or to document a pre-analysis-plan deviation.
codex/methods-reporting/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
model-committee
Run one consequential, contestable decision through a deliberative committee of GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus, chaired by fable (default), astra, opus, or sol. Not for factual lookups, brainstorming, routine implementation, independent-coder reliability, or final professional judgment. Use when several options are defensible and the two model families should propose, critique, revise, and cross-ran…
codex/model-committee/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
narrative-building
Drafts or audits a scientific paper's introduction: real-world motivation, evidence audit, theory-to-if-then funnel with a named estimand, bridges across experiments, and calibrated contributions. Use to write, frame, or critique an introduction.
codex/narrative-building/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
orchestrate
Orchestrate complex work from an active gpt-6-astra or gpt-6.1-sol Codex session. The detected lead owns decomposition, integration, and verification; Astra keeps the hardest reasoning in the lead, while Sol escalates unusually difficult units to Astra. Both route bounded work to Sol at medium effort, mechanical work to Luna, and can use a cross-vendor Claude peer. Not for routine single-context…
codex/orchestrate/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
paper-review-lite
Run a pre-submission manuscript audit covering argument, numerics, references, writing, figures, methods, preregistration, and replication readiness. Add --codex for a cross-model pass in which Codex and Claude review independently and verify each other's findings.
codex/paper-review-lite/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
paper-tex
Typeset a working paper or journal submission in house-style LaTeX from Markdown, Word, TeX, ODT, RTF, or HTML. Use to convert drafts, build PDFs, or prepare journal-specific spacing, limits, anonymization, disclosures, and citations.
codex/paper-tex/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
pre-registration-writing
Writes or reviews a pre-analysis plan before data collection: registry choice (OSF, AEA, AsPredicted, registered reports), locked models and decision rules, code run on simulated data, contingencies, and deviation records. Use when drafting or auditing a pre-registration or PAP, choosing a registry, or handling a deviation.
codex/pre-registration-writing/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
qualtrics-ops
Operate or audit a live Qualtrics survey via the v3 APIs without breaking fielding: publish gating, quotas, flow routing, embedded data, panel-vendor redirects, read-back verification, and a read-only pre-fielding audit. Use when publishing or patching a fielding instrument, when a quota counts but never blocks, or before launch.
codex/qualtrics-ops/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md -
referee-response
Organize an author's response to peer review: extract every referee point, order the revision by dependency, flag possible pushbacks, and build the response-letter skeleton the author fills in. Use for revise-and-resubmit planning, response letters, or checking every point was answered.
codex/referee-response/ on GitHub (opens in a new tab)SKILL.md
