Codex Mode

Codex Mode

Use this skill to switch the global Codex App plugin set for the next session. The current conversation does not hot-reload plugins after the config changes.

Commands

Run the bundled script from this skill directory:

python3 scripts/codex_mode.py list
python3 scripts/codex_mode.py status
python3 scripts/codex_mode.py dry-run nextjs
python3 scripts/codex_mode.py apply nextjs
python3 scripts/codex_mode.py restore

Workflow

1. If the user says only mode, run python3 scripts/codex_mode.py list and ask which specialized mode they want.
2. If the user says mode list, run list.
3. If the user says mode status, run status.
4. If the user says mode restore, run dry-run restore, summarize the diff, ask for confirmation, then run restore if confirmed.
5. If the user says mode <name> without --yes, run dry-run <name>, summarize the diff, and ask for confirmation before applying.
6. If the user says mode <name> --yes, run apply <name> directly.

Keep responses short. Do not autodetect a project type. The user chooses the mode.

Modes

Specialized modes are:

• vite
• nextjs
• react-native
• ios
• tvos
• macos
• ai-app

restore returns to the base plugin set.

Safety

• The script changes only managed [plugins."<plugin-id>"].enabled values in ~/.codex/config.toml.
• The script creates a timestamped backup under ~/.codex/backups/codex-mode/ before every write.
• After applying, tell the user to open a new Codex App conversation or restart the app/workspace for the new plugin context to load.
