What they did

A developer built a Chrome extension that detects agent skills in marketplaces and repos, lets you tag and edit them and drops them into your AI chats. He asked Codex to make the isometric animation for the detection step.

Result (as claimed)

A working extension with a Codex-made animation, shared for feedback.

Tools they used

Cost: OpenAI Codex: free plan, paid from $8/mo. Checked 2026-10-14.

Set it up

  1. Pick a contained repo or task

    Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.

  2. Install and configure

    Set up OpenAI Codex, Chrome. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.

  3. Run it on a real task

    Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.

  4. Add guardrails

    Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.

Copy the full setup prompt

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
