Agent skills

The skills that teach your agents to use Ghostex, and how to install and call them.

A skill is a short guide an agent reads to learn a task. Ghostex ships skills that teach agents to use Ghostex itself: start other agents, answer questions about the app, show charts, drive a browser, and more. They work with Claude Code, Codex and the other agents that support skills.

Install skills

Open Settings > Integrations and install the ones you want under Bundled Agent Skills. Each one can be updated or uninstalled on its own, or all together with Uninstall All. Ghostex copies them to ~/.agents/skills. First-launch setup installs Ghostex CLI for you.

Call a skill

Ghostex’s skills don’t load on their own: an agent uses one only when you ask for it. Type $ in the message box and pick the skill, then write your request:

$ghostex-agents have Codex write tests for the login page, then review them.

Ghostex shows it the way each agent expects it (/ghostex-agents in Claude Code, $ghostex-agents in Codex). Skills in the message box’s More actions menu lists the Ghostex skills that agent has installed, and puts the one you pick in the message box.

The skills

Skill (in Settings)	What it lets an agent do	More

Orchestrators have a skill of their own, ghostex-orchestrator. Ghostex installs it for you when you start one.

Two smaller skills

These two aren’t listed in Settings. Install them from a terminal if you want them.

Ghostex Auto Rename Session (ghostex generate-title install-skill): ask “$ghostex-auto-rename-session” and the agent names the session after the work it did, in under 60 characters, and renames it for you.

Ghostex Move Codex Session (ghostex move-codex-session install-skill): Codex can’t change the folder of a running session. Ask “$ghostex-move-codex-session” and it walks you through continuing the conversation in another folder as a new session:

Get the session id

Type /status in the Codex session and copy its session id.

Fork it into the other folder

In a terminal, run codex fork --yolo -C ~/dev/other-project <SESSION_ID>. Leave out --yolo if you don’t want Codex to skip approvals and its sandbox.

Install from a terminal

Every skill has an install command, which is handy on a remote computer:

ghostex cli install-skill
ghostex guide install-skill
ghostex agents-orchestration install-skill
ghostex visual install-skill
ghostex browser install-skill        # Embedded Browser Use
ghostex browser-use install-skill
ghostex computer-use install-skill
ghostex spaceo install-skill
ghostex board install-skill          # Project Board Beads
