Switcher traffic wants to move between looks quickly. The safe version is still file-first: stage a real pack, inspect background.png and theme.json, apply with the user's active Codex theme tool, verify the core screens, and restore immediately if readability drops.
npx skills add ChannelerH/codex-skin-packs --skill codex-skin-pack-installer --global --agent codex --yes
The switcher should not start from a loose screenshot. Install the Skill, fetch a known pack, and keep the files reviewable before any visual override is applied.
python3 "$CODEX_SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_skin_pack.py" caishen-readable
Caishen Readable is the best first switch because it has the strongest current download signal and a softer contrast profile for daily work.
A switcher is only usable when undo is obvious. Keep a restore prompt beside every pack and reject themes that hide text or controls.
Restore my default Codex theme now. Disable the active third-party skin override, keep my downloaded skin packs untouched, confirm the native Codex UI is readable again, and tell me which switcher path was reversed.
Each option below points to a real page and download. Use the switcher workflow only after checking source files and restore notes.

Codex Skin Gallery is independent and not affiliated with OpenAI. It provides public-safe skin packs and switcher prompts for users who already understand their active third-party theme tool.
If the user needs to store multiple packs before switching, start from the manager workflow.
