Gestalt skill catalog
The Gestalt plugin distributes 13 skills. Codex exposes them with the gestalt provider, so invoke them as $gestalt:<skill-name>. Every Gestalt skill is session infrastructure: saved Mobile profiles cannot hide or disable it, and an Agents update reconciles the catalog against the newly installed version. Start a fresh session after gestalt update; an already-running Codex session keeps the catalog captured when it started.
Development workflows
| Skill | Use it for |
|---|---|

gestalt cli and gestalt mobile also put $CODEX_HOME/bin on PATH, where Agents setup installs the matching org-plan helper on every update.

Optional curated skills

gestalt update --extra-skillsThese are separate packages. Gestalt never silently disables conflicting skills from another enabled plugin.
