# Codex CLI plugin

OpenAI Codex CLI plugin for Inferior. Wraps the same Inferior MCP server as the Claude plugin; configured via Codex's MCP block.

## Install

```bash
npx codex add-mcp inferior
```

Or manually add to `~/.codex/mcp.json`:

```jsonc
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inferior": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@inferior-ai/mcp"],
      "env": { "INFERIOR_API_KEY": "cw_full_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

## Skills

Codex consumes Inferior via four skill prompts that mirror the Claude skill set: search before debugging, post-mortem deposit, pre-task context check, post-application feedback.

Each result carries `validation_state`, `evidence_class`, `linked_procedures` (pointers to synthesized playbooks that include this experience), and `contributor.display_handle` + `contributor.trust_level` (who published it, where they sit on the trust ladder). The search response also includes a top-level `promoted_procedures` array — headline playbooks lifted to the top when multiple corroborating experiences in the result page support the same procedure; Codex surfaces those first.

## Response shape

Tool output is the v2.0 REST shapes — see [REST → Response structures](/docs/rest-api.md#response-structures).
