This skill addresses common issues arising from Codex Desktop upgrades on Windows, restoring broken local patches, feature toggles (Fast Mode, browser integrations), and plugin market functionality. It guides agents to automate repairs, benefiting power users needing stable Codex environments.

How It Works

The skill uses PowerShell scripts to interact with Windows MSIX packages, modify ASAR archives, and manipulate feature gates. It automates tasks like reapplying patches, fixing Fast Mode paths, re-registering plugin markets, and unblocking browser integrations. An integrated auto-update mechanism syncs from GitHub before execution.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Clone the repo and use provided PowerShell commands to copy skill files to ~/.codex/skills/codex-windows-fast-patch. Restart Codex Desktop.
• Prerequisites: Windows OS, Windows Store/MSIX package structure, PowerShell, Get-AppxPackage, makeappx.exe, signtool.exe, and Windows user environment variables. Not compatible with macOS.
• Links: No direct links to demos or official quick-start guides are provided.

Highlighted Details

• Automated restoration of Codex Desktop features post-upgrade: Fast Mode (service_tier=priority), locale/i18n, browser integrations.
• Fixes for local plugin market configuration, manifest structure, and "Any App" control.
• Built-in automatic timestamped backups of config.toml, plus a utility for manual full backups/restores.
• Proactive self-updating capability, syncing latest workflows from GitHub before agent execution.

Maintenance & Community

The project acknowledges inspiration from the LinuxDo community. No specific details on active maintainers, sponsorships, or dedicated community channels are present.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: The README does not specify a software license.
• Compatibility: Strictly limited to Windows environments utilizing the Windows Store/MSIX package format for Codex Desktop.

Limitations & Caveats

The skill is Windows-only and relies on MSIX package structure. Some complex fixes require external agents or manual intervention to avoid session interruption. Scripts are reference implementations needing potential adaptation. The absence of a specified license is a significant adoption blocker.
