In plain English

CodeDrobe Skills provides installable Agent Skills that let an AI assistant reskin the visual look of certain AI desktop apps, currently OpenAI Codex and Tencent WorkBuddy, based on a reference image you give it. Instead of installing software you configure yourself, you add a skill to your AI agent, then talk to the agent in plain language and it does the theming work for you. Two skills ship here. The main one, codedrobe-theme, lets a user create, apply, check, repair, undo, and publish a theme. The second, codedrobe-adapter-dev, is for people who want to add support for new apps or maintain the underlying project. New apps are added by extending the core project rather than by writing a brand new skill. Once installed, you can hand the AI a reference image and ask it to build a theme, for example asking it to turn a picture into a matching skin for Codex, apply an existing theme file, repair a theme that broke after an app update, or find and install a theme from the community store. The skill works by taking a live snapshot of the app's actual interface and styling that real interface, rather than just overlaying an image on top of a screenshot, and it will ask for your approval before restarting any running app. Under the hood, the skill relies on a separate command line tool called codedrobe core, which you install once with a standard package manager command. Everyday actions like snapshotting, applying, checking, and restoring a theme are run by the AI on your behalf, while publishing a finished theme to the public CodeDrobe store requires you to sign in and confirm. The project also includes starter theme files and one full example theme that can be copied and customized. Instructions and documentation are released under the Apache License 2.0, which allows free use, modification, and commercial use as long as you keep the copyright notice. CodeDrobe is not affiliated with OpenAI or Tencent.
