Getting Started
Introduction
What Codex Kit is, what it installs, and how to read the docs.
Codex Kit is a starter scaffold for repositories that want to work well with Codex from day one.
It installs routing docs, a shipped skill catalog, workflow playbooks, focused subagents, project-scoped MCP config, and managed file tracking so teams do not have to rebuild the same operating layer in every repo.
What Is Codex Kit?
At its core, Codex Kit is a repo structure that helps Codex decide what kind of task it is looking at, which workflow fits, which skills matter, and how much validation is appropriate before handoff.
The scaffold itself is the product. The shipped skill catalog lives in templates/project/.agents/skills, and that directory should be treated as the source of truth.
What's Included
16
16 Agents
Focused subagent profiles in `.codex/agents` for planning, implementation, debugging, review, docs, performance, security, SEO, deploy, and testing.
42
42 Skills
Reusable skill entries under `.agents/skills` covering frontend, backend, database, mobile, testing, security, SEO, GEO, MCP, and more.

15 Workflows
Production-ready workflow playbooks for brainstorm, plan, create, debug, review, check, verify, deploy, ship, preview, status, test, orchestrate, and UI/UX work.
How To Use The Docs
- Start with Installation if you are setting up a new repository, then read Local Codex Setup if you want the plugin or skill catalog available in Codex itself.
- Read Agents, Skills, and Workflows to understand how the scaffold thinks about execution.
- Use the Guide section when you want examples for planning, implementation, debugging, testing, preview, and deployment.
- Use CLI Reference when you need exact commands and flags.
