Codex Image In CC

codex-image-in-cc

Claude Code plugin that exposes Codex CLI's built-in imagegen skill as /codex-image:* user-invoked plugin skills.

The plugin does not implement image generation itself. Each plugin skill dispatches to codex exec --sandbox workspace-write and lets Codex's imagegen skill drive the built-in image_gen tool, use attached reference/edit images, save the final artifact, and print a SAVED:  line for each output.

Requirements

- Claude Code with plugin support.
- @openai/codex CLI v0.142.0 or later (v0.144+ recommended — it moves image generation to the extension-backed tool the instruction prefixes are written for). Codex CLI 0.151+ removed --full-auto from codex exec; plugin 0.2.1+ dispatches with --sandbox workspace-write instead, which older and current releases both accept.
- An active codex login session.
- Node.js 18.18 or later.

OPENAI_API_KEY is not required for the default built-in path. Codex can use either a ChatGPT login or API-key login.

Install

From GitHub (recommended)

From a local clone

Then restart Claude Code if needed. Default install scope is user; pass --scope project or --scope local to limit installation.

Plugin Skills

Apart from leading reference-image flags on generate and the input-path split on edit, the natural-language prompt is passed through to Codex's imagegen skill. Express output paths, sizes, quality, count, transparency, etc. as natural language inside the prompt — imagegen interprets them. Defaults: when no path is specified, files land under ./codex-images/-.png.

For /codex-image:generate, leading --ref , --reference , or --image  arguments are attached to the Codex turn via codex exec --image and treated as generation references, not edit targets. Repeat the flag for multiple references (at most 5 — the…
