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.
