Third Party Codex Updater

Safely check and update GitHub-installed third-party Codex plugins and local skills. Use when the user asks to inspect, update, preserve, or automate updates for FableCodex, Ponytail, Archify, Graphify, Open Code Review, SkillOpt-Sleep, agency-router, codebase-memory-mcp, Superpowers upstream, or other third-party Codex skills/plugins without overwriting local custom work.

File contents

Third-party Codex Updater

Use the bundled script first. It separates safe updates from manual-review items.

python "${CODEX_SKILLS_DIR:-${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills}/third-party-codex-updater/scripts/check_updates.py" --apply-safe

Policy

Apply automatically only when the update path is official and low-risk:
- codex-fable5@fablecodex: clean local repo, fast-forward only, tests pass, then codex plugin add.
- ponytail@ponytail: codex plugin marketplace upgrade ponytail, then codex plugin add.
Do not auto-merge or replace:
- archify, graphify, and open-code-review-delegate: compare their official versions and report manual review; do not overwrite installed skills, Graphify's tool environment, or the local OCR compatibility normalization.
- animation-vocabulary, apple-design, emil-design-eng, improve-animations, and review-animations: report manual review only until an upstream source is explicitly recorded.
- SkillOpt-Sleep: preserve custom branch/commit, report upstream tag and conflicts.
- codebase-memory-mcp: keep a clean latest-tag clone, do not replace MCP binaries or DGX config.
- superpowers: keep OpenAI-curated pinned install, clone upstream only for comparison.
- agency-router: compare the six selected source roles; report manual review if they changed.
Never delete dirty worktrees. Create new clean clone paths instead.
Never push.
Mask secrets; do not print raw Codex session text.

Output

Report:

safe updates applied
items already current
items blocked by dirty worktree or conflicts
clean clone paths created
manual review items
