Migrate to Codex

A Codex Skill for moving supported instruction files, skills, agents, and MCP configuration into Codex project or global files.

Overview

Use this reference when a project needs a bounded migration from Claude-style artifacts into Codex-compatible instructions and configuration.

What this Skill can do

  • Defines migration order for instructions, skills, agents, and MCP configuration.
  • Preserves unrelated Codex configuration while checking generated artifacts.
  • Calls out source and target boundaries before modifying developer tooling.

Best use cases

  • Migrating project instructions into Codex-readable files.
  • Checking generated Codex artifacts after a tooling migration.
  • Documenting migration boundaries before touching shared configuration.

Not suitable for

  • Blindly overwriting unrelated Codex configuration.
  • Migrating secrets or local-only paths into a public repository.
  • Editing source Claude artifacts when the target is Codex configuration.

Inputs

  • Selected source artifacts, target Codex scope, and existing config boundaries.
  • Repository or global config location where migration is explicitly approved.

Outputs

  • Migration checklist and generated Codex artifacts.
  • Validation report for migrated instructions, skills, agents, or MCP config.
  • Blocked-state notes when source or target boundaries are unclear.

Compatibility

Tools: Codex

Environments: Codex CLI or compatible Codex skill runtime, Project or global Codex configuration workspace

  • Requires an explicit migration target.
  • Generated files must be reviewed before commit.

SkillDex links to the source only; it does not migrate local configuration.
