# Summary Before this change, the sample plugin creator could emit placeholder-heavy manifests that fail workspace sharing, and it chose a repo-local marketplace implicitly whenever it ran from inside a git checkout. This PR makes generated plugins share-ready by default. It switches creation to the personal marketplace unless the caller explicitly opts into repo-local paths, adds a validator that mirrors the workspace plugin ingestion contract, and updates the skill prompt and docs to describe the real flow. The goal is to stop malformed generated plugins before they reach sharing and to make the default placement match the personal marketplace behavior users expect. ## Changes - Generate share-safe plugin manifests instead of `[TODO: ...]` placeholder payloads. - Default plugin and marketplace creation to `~/plugins` and `~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`. - Keep repo-local marketplace creation available through explicit `--path` and `--marketplace-path` arguments. - Add `validate_plugin.py` to check manifests, companion files, skill frontmatter, skill agent YAML, asset paths, and backend-shaped contracts before sharing. - Refresh the plugin creator skill text, reference docs, and default prompt to describe validation and the personal default. ## Design decisions - The validator tracks the workspace ingestion schema directly, including the required `defaultPrompt` alias handling and skill `agents/openai.yaml` checks. - The validator keeps one intentional extra preflight rule: leftover `[TODO: ...]` placeholders are rejected before sharing even when a single placeholder would not independently violate backend type validation. - Repo-local creation stays possible, but it is now explicit instead of cwd-sensitive. ## Testing Tests: targeted Python syntax checks, plugin skill validation, staged diff whitespace validation, 15 generated plugin smoke runs, backend manifest-schema acceptance for all 15 generated bundles, and a git-repo cwd regression proving the creator still writes to the personal marketplace by default.
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
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.
