- If prompts still look stale, remove the older directory and install again.
- If team environments drift, check whether the local mirror and webhook sync are aligned.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions: Can I keep Codex-style workflows portable?
Yes. Keep triggers, paths, and dependencies explicit in SKILL.md and the same workflow stays portable across coding agents.
Frequently asked questions: When should I prefer manual installation?
Prefer manual installation when you need stricter human review, offline mirrors, or internal source audits.
