This SKILL.md is a bare router: its own folder holds only the file itself, and both scripts/state-read.sh and every skill it routes to (shipyard-executing-plans, security-audit, shipyard-writing-plans...) live entirely outside codex/skills-extra/ — copying just this one folder leaves every reference dangling; the README itself says the real install path is `claude plugin install shipyard@shipyard`, not cherry-picking a single skill.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 3/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Shipyard Codex Orchestration does

A router skill for Codex CLI that explains how Shipyard's Claude-Code-native multi-subagent workflows (builder/reviewer/auditor/etc.) degrade to one-context sequential role-adoption in Codex, and maps intents like 'ship it' or 'audit this' to the right named Shipyard skill. Trigger on explicit multi-step Shipyard workflow requests under Codex (build/audit/plan/ship/review/research/map); it is one piece of the larger 'shipyard' Claude Code plugin, not a standalone tool.

How to install Shipyard Codex Orchestration

git clone https://github.com/lgbarn/shipyard
cd shipyard
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r codex/skills-extra/shipyard-codex-orchestration ~/.claude/skills/shipyard-codex-orchestration

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Shipyard Codex Orchestration

  • /shipyard-codex-orchestration Routes Shipyard's parallel-agent build/audit/ship workflows to sequential personas under Codex.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • I'm on Codex CLI, please audit this repo like Shipyard's audit workflow would
  • Ship this feature using the Shipyard build then review then ship sequence
  • Route this 'audit this codebase' request to the right Shipyard persona under Codex
