WildCrane for Codex
Shape ideas with Codex in your own session and start them as WildCrane tasks, run on this computer. No separate Runner to install: the plugin's local component runs the jobs while Codex is open.
- Needs: Codex 0.159 or later, and Node 22 or later (found on the PATH or in the usual nvm, Volta, Homebrew, fnm, asdf and mise places).
- Ideas: tell Codex what you want to build; it asks in the conversation and saves the ideas, replying with one line and a link per idea. Review, change the workflow, discard and Start on the web: Codex never starts a task.
- Ask Codex: to sign in, to add this folder as a new or existing project, or for your projects, recent discussions and agent connections.
- Approvals: Codex asks before each WildCrane tool call unless you approve it for the session.
Install

codex plugin add wildcrane@wildcrane
Develop
cd runner && npm install && npm run build # writes plugins/codex/server/dist/
codex plugin marketplace add ./plugins
codex plugin add wildcrane@wildcrane
After a rebuild, codex plugin remove wildcrane@wildcrane and add it again: Codex runs a copy.
