wtf is chat-capture-codex-skills?

This repository is a set of skill files for Codex, an AI coding assistant, designed to help you save chat messages you already have access to onto your own computer. It supports four platforms: QQ, Discord, Linux.do (a Chinese-language forum, sometimes called L Station), and Telegram. Each skill packages instructions Codex follows to collect messages from one of these platforms and organize them into local JSONL files, a SQLite database, or Markdown files, so you can later search, summarize, or archive them. The four included skills are qq-chat-capture, which works through local QQ desktop tools to pull group messages, discord-chat-capture, which uses Discord Desktop's remote debugging feature to grab channel messages and forum thread replies, linuxdo-topic-capture, which reads topic titles, links, and visible metadata from Linux.do using Codex's built in browser login, and telegram-chat-capture, which uses a local Telethon session to incrementally pull messages from Telegram groups, channels, and private chats. The README is explicit that this repository does not include any actual chat records, databases, cookies, tokens, session files, API credentials, or account identifiers. It only contains the workflow instructions themselves. Every example in the repo uses placeholder values that you must replace with your own environment details before use. To install it, you copy the skill folders you want into your local Codex skills directory and restart Codex Desktop. You then invoke a skill by name in a Codex conversation, for example asking it to capture QQ chat records or grab Telegram messages. The author states clear boundaries: only capture chats, groups, or channels you already have permission to access, never commit tokens or passwords to the repository, avoid downloading media by default since it uses more disk space and raises privacy concerns, and stop automation if you hit a CAPTCHA, rate limit, or account warning. Logging into each platform must be done manually by the user.
