## Summary Creates a personal-marketplace update flow for the plugin-creator skill when iterating on an existing local plugin. ## Context Plugin creation already had a scaffold path, but the follow-up story for updating an existing local plugin during development was not explicit. The goal of this change is to make that default personal-marketplace update loop legible at the point of use instead of leaving it implied or hidden behind a larger helper. ## Decision Keep the scaffold flow intact, add a dedicated update/reinstall reference centered on the personal marketplace, document the actual `codex plugin add` and marketplace-check commands directly, and keep helper automation narrowly scoped to the repetitive local-update steps. ## Changes - update plugin-creator to point existing-plugin iteration at a personal-marketplace update flow - add `references/installing-and-updating.md` with the explicit marketplace check and reinstall sequence - add small helper scripts for reading marketplace names and updating plugin versions during local iteration ## Tests - `python3 codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/plugin-creator` - `python3 -m py_compile codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/plugin-creator/scripts/read_marketplace_name.py codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/plugin-creator/scripts/update_plugin_cachebuster.py`

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
