How we review

Minimal accessThe tool runs nothing and makes no network calls.

  • Mods and skills change agent behavior, so read SKILL.md before installing.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

A skill collection by one author. `modsmith` builds ready-made Claude Code mods: a quiz after the turn, an assumption ledger, a next-steps supervisor, a mode registry and a shared Kanban dashboard. It also vets someone else's mod before install and reviews token use. `codex-dynamic-workflows` plans and runs workflows with subagents and approval gates. `codex-relay` opens a new Codex task from the current one and returns a single result. `be-ambitious` rewrites a prompt to get a deeper result, and `explain-this` explains papers and code to a learner profile with comprehension quizzes.

Who it is for. People who work deeply with Claude Code and Codex and want ready patterns for steering long tasks instead of building them from scratch.

Good fit when

  • You want a Claude Code mod that checks agent assumptions after every turn.
  • A long Codex task needs a plan, subagents and manual approval gates.
  • A subtask must be split from the current Codex task with a single result back.
  • Someone else's Claude Code mod needs vetting before install.

Not a fit when

  • You need one rule set for a team under shared version control.
  • The agent does not support the skills format.
  • One ready skill is enough and the rest would only get in the way.

Example request

Vet this third-party Claude Code mod before install and show what it does to context and the prompt cache.

Limitations

Skills target different agents: `modsmith` is built for Claude Code, `codex-*` for Codex. On first use `explain-this` runs an interview of about ten minutes and creates `~/.explain-this/`. The latest commit is from October 2026. Read each skill's `SKILL.md` before installing, because they change agent behavior. `modsmith-all` installs six mods at once, each with its own effect on context and token use.

How to disable. Run `/plugin uninstall` for installed plugins or delete the skill folder from the agent skills directory. Remove `~/.explain-this/` by hand.

FAQ

How do I install all mods at once?

`/plugin install modsmith-all@modsmith` installs the skill plus six ready-made mods.

How do I install a skill for Codex?

Copy the folder, for example `codex-dynamic-workflows`, into `~/.agents/skills` or ask the agent to install the skill from the GitHub folder URL.

How does `codex-relay` differ from the project of the same name?

It is a skill for handing off tasks between Codex tasks. The mobile app with that name lives in another repository.

Does it need a separate launch?

No. A skill loads when a task fits or is called by name.

What does `be-ambitious` do?

It asks the agent for a deeper version of the task: what a professional would add, which methods and external check apply. Then it rewrites your prompt.
