- 'claude plugin add' is not a valid subcommand; the correct form is
'claude plugin install feature-dev@claude-plugins-official'
- cp into ~/.claude/{skills,prompts,commands} fails on a fresh machine
because the directories don't exist; add mkdir -p first
- gpt-5.3-codex is rejected by current Codex CLI / ChatGPT accounts
(invalid_request_error); use gpt-5.5 and note model availability
- document ChatGPT login (codex login) as an auth alternative
- note that hide_agent_reasoning is a top-level TOML key and must be
placed above any [table] sections
Verified end-to-end: fresh install per these steps, then /claude-codex
on a scratch repo — Claude implemented, Codex (gpt-5.5 via MCP)
reviewed and returned APPROVED.

While setting this project up from scratch on a fresh machine, I hit a few issues with the install instructions in the README. This PR fixes them; all changes are verified against a working end-to-end run.
Fixes
Plugin install command —
claude plugin add claude-plugins-official/feature-devis not a valid subcommand. The correct form is:Copy step fails on fresh machines —
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/(and the prompts/commands equivalents) fail when the target directories don't exist.~/.claude/prompts/in particular is specific to this project, so it never pre-exists. Addedmkdir -pbefore the copies.Stale Codex model name —
gpt-5.3-codexis rejected by current Codex CLI (0.143.0) with a ChatGPT account:Updated the example to
gpt-5.5and added a note that model availability depends on plan/CLI version.Auth docs — documented
codex login(ChatGPT account) as an alternative toOPENAI_API_KEY.TOML gotcha —
hide_agent_reasoning = trueis a top-level key; appending it to aconfig.tomlthat already has[table]sections silently places it inside the last table. Added a note to put it above the first table header.Verification
Followed the updated instructions end-to-end on a clean
~/.claude(no pre-existing skills/prompts), then ran/claude-codexon a scratch git repo in a fresh session: Claude implemented the change, Codex (gpt-5.5via the MCP server) reviewed the uncommitted diff and returned a structured APPROVED verdict on the first pass. The Codex session log confirms the MCP review call went through.
