ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/awslabs/agent-plugins.git
cp -r agent-plugins/plugins/aws-serverless/skills/aws-lambda-microvms .agents/skills/aws-lambda-microvms   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.
