SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires node, jq, tmux, bun, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a safe, isolated environment to test and verify Codex plugins without risking your actual configuration or hitting real model APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Testing: Runs tests in a disposable environment using a local mock model, ensuring your real ~/.codex setup remains untouched.
  • Deterministic Verification: Uses structured notification streams to prove that plugin hooks fire correctly during live sessions.
  • Use Case: When developing a new plugin hook, use this skill to run a smoke test that verifies the hook fires and completes successfully without needing to manually interact with the TUI or spend API credits.

Quick Start

Run the codex-qa skill to execute the app-server driver and verify that your local plugin hooks are firing correctly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Codex plugin hooks without hitting real model APIs?

To test Codex plugin hooks without hitting real model APIs, use an isolated QA environment with a local mock model. This sandbox verifies hook execution deterministically while keeping your real configuration untouched.

What does deterministic QA for Codex plugins actually verify?

Deterministic QA for Codex plugins verifies hook execution and app-server communication through structured notification streams. It proves that plugin hooks fire and complete successfully during live sessions.

Do I need tmux and node to run isolated Codex plugin tests?

Yes, you need a POSIX-compliant environment with node, jq, and tmux to run isolated Codex plugin tests. These dependencies are required to manage the sandbox and mock model interactions.

Can I run regression tests for Codex installer logic and TUI rendering?

Yes, you can run regression tests for Codex installer logic and TUI rendering. The skill applies deterministic testing to verify installer logic, TUI rendering, and hook wiring in an isolated environment.

How do I run a smoke test for a new Codex plugin hook?

To run a smoke test for a new Codex plugin hook, execute the codex-qa skill to run the app-server driver. This verifies the hook fires successfully without manual TUI interaction or spending API credits.
