openai/codex-plugin-cc: README-based editorial guide

openai/codex-plugin-cc describes itself in the README as "Use Codex from Claude Code to review code or delegate tasks.". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "Codex plugin for Claude Code", the README says: Use Codex from inside Claude Code for code reviews or to delegate tasks to Codex.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "What You Get" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: /codex:adversarial-review for a steerable challenge review. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: /codex:review for a normal read-only Codex review. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "Install". The source evidence includes: /codex:setup will tell you whether Codex is ready. If Codex is missing and npm is available, it can offer to install Codex for you.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: npm install -g @openai/codex When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "What You Get" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
