Codex install command fails with "invalid marketplace file" #408

Closed

Description

@yfrbl

Summary

The Codex install command shown in the README does not work with the current Codex CLI.

README currently suggests:

codex plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes --sparse .codex-plugin --sparse skills --sparse assets

Running that against heygen-com/hyperframes fails even though the repository contains .codex-plugin/plugin.json.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install/update Codex CLI.
  2. Run:
    codex plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes --sparse .codex-plugin --sparse skills --sparse assets

Actual result

Codex exits with:

Error: invalid marketplace file `/Users/.../.codex/.tmp/marketplaces/.staging/...`: marketplace root does not contain a supported manifest

Expected result

Either:

  • the plugin installs successfully using the documented command, or
  • the README uses the correct installation flow for the current Codex CLI.

Notes

If that command is no longer valid for current Codex versions, updating the README with the supported install path would likely fix the confusion.

    @yfrbl you found that quick! We are working with the OpenAI team to get this into the marketplace it is not ready quite yet!

    Will update this issue once it’s in the marketplace , we needed to setup the plugin first though
