Comms & Docs × Codex

Top Communication & Docs Skills for Codex

For documentation work in Codex CLI, the useful set is documentation and architecture-adr for writing that lives beside the code, system-architecture-diagrams for generating the picture from that writing, and humanizer for anything a customer will read. Notion's skill covers the case where the docs live outside the repo.

17 comms & docs skills we have not confirmed on Codex

A combination only gets a page here when at least 6 skills are verified on the agent — otherwise the page would be a stub pretending to be a ranking.

FAQ

Common questions

Can Codex keep a docs site in sync with code changes using these?

Partly — the skills supply the conventions and structure, so the agent knows what a good ADR or reference page looks like. Keeping them in sync is a workflow problem, not a skill problem: trigger the docs skill as part of the same task that changes the code, or the docs drift exactly as they always have.

How many comms & docs skills work with Codex?

6 of the 23 skills catalogued in Communication & Docs are verified working on Codex. The remaining 17 are either untested on this agent or depend on capabilities it does not provide — they are listed below rather than hidden.

How do I install a comms & docs skill on Codex?

Each skill page carries the exact Codex command. Codex reads SKILL.md natively, so a skill folder works unchanged.
