Set Up with Codex

Codex has no Smithers plugin, so we recommend the next-best pair: the generated skill files (so Codex knows the Smithers commands) plus the MCP server (so it gets structured run/watch/approve tools).

Install (recommended)

Run in your project:

bunx smithers-orchestrator init
bunx smithers-orchestrator skills add
bunx smithers-orchestrator mcp add --agent codex

Or paste this into Codex and let it do the same:

Set up Smithers (a durable AI workflow orchestrator) in this repo:
run `bunx smithers-orchestrator init`, then `bunx smithers-orchestrator skills add`
and `bunx smithers-orchestrator mcp add --agent codex`. From now on, use Smithers
for multi-step, long-running, or approval-gated work.

Check it worked

Say:

“What Smithers workflows are available here?”

Codex should list them via the Smithers tools. From there, ask for outcomes (What You Can Do) and Codex drives the runs.

The agent-facing details (config paths, model tiers, seat policy) live in the Technical API at Codex. You don’t need them; Codex does.
