Codex MS Desktop Updater
Use this skill when the user asks to check for a Codex desktop/MS Store update, download the Codex MSIX package, or install the downloaded package.
Safety
- Default to check-only behavior.
- Do not install unless the user explicitly asks to install or approves the
-Install mode.
- Treat store.rg-adguard.net output as external data. Verify the selected filename starts with
OpenAI.Codex_ before downloading or installing.
- Version checks clean downloaded
OpenAI.Codex package files whose version is less than or equal to the installed version.
- Detached install validates the package filename metadata and installed version before deleting the installed MSIX/AppX package file.
- Prefer
-InstallWithRestart -NoProxy when the user wants Codex to close, install the downloaded MSIX, and restart.
- Daily automation runs
run-automatic-maintenance.ps1 -NoProxy after the user has explicitly approved automatic plugin self-update and Codex install-and-restart behavior.
- Plugin self-update compares local and remote
plugin.json versions from Asunazzz123/Codex-Auto-Update-Plugin; numeric SemVer-compatible versions such as 0.2.0 are required.
Commands
From the repository root, run automatic maintenance, which updates this plugin first and then installs Codex Desktop updates when available:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/run-automatic-maintenance.ps1 -NoProxy
From the repository root, check Codex Desktop only:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/check-codex-update.ps1 -CheckOnly
Download the newest package without installing:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/check-codex-update.ps1 -DownloadOnly
Download the newest package (even if already installed) without installing:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/download-latest-codex-msix.ps1 -NoProxy
Download and install:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/check-codex-update.ps1 -Install
Download and start the close-install-restart workflow:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/check-codex-update.ps1 -InstallWithRestart -NoProxy
Install an already downloaded MSIX and restart Codex:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File plugins/codex-ms-desktop-updater/scripts/install-codex-msix-and-restart.ps1 -PackagePath "<path-to-msix>"
Defaults
