Prerequisites

Installation

This repository is structured as a [Claude Code Plugin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins) with a marketplace. You can install it as a **plugin** (recommended) or extract it as a **standalone skill**.

Option 1: Plugin Installation (Recommended)

Install via Claude Code's plugin system for automatic updates:

/plugin marketplace add skills-directory/skill-codex
/plugin install skill-codex@skill-codex

Option 2: Standalone Skill Installation

Extract the skill folder manually:

git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:skills-directory/skill-codex.git /tmp/skills-temp && \
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && \
cp -r /tmp/skills-temp/plugins/skill-codex/skills/codex ~/.claude/skills/codex && \
rm -rf /tmp/skills-temp

Usage

Important: Thinking Tokens

By default, this skill suppresses thinking tokens (stderr output) using `2>/dev/null` to avoid bloating Claude Code's context window. If you want to see the thinking tokens for debugging or insight into Codex's reasoning process, explicitly ask Claude to show them.

Example Workflow

**User prompt:**
