Install codebase-coffee for Codex

Run `npx skills add RMPasta/codebase-coffee --agent codex -y`, open the repo you want to stay oriented in, and ask Codex for your daily coffee.

Use EraCode. Less ErrorCode.

Why install it in Codex

Installing codebase-coffee for Codex puts the refresher beside the code and commands you already use. The skill reads the current repository, then keeps each daily concept grounded in real patterns and file locations.

It is a literacy habit, not another coding assistant. You still use Codex as you normally do; coffee adds one small moment to recall how the codebase is shaped and where a non-obvious rule lives.

Install for Codex

From the project where you manage Agent Skills, run the skills CLI with the `codex` target:

  • npx skills add RMPasta/codebase-coffee --agent codex -y

Start coffee in your repo

Open the repository you want to learn, then run `/codebase-coffee` or ask Codex for today’s refresher. Codex starts coffee manually; there is no automatic morning offer in this host.

The first session scans the repo and creates `.codebase-coffee.md` with 20–30 ranked concepts. Normal sessions stay short: one concept, a reason it exists, one or two file pointers, one gotcha, and an optional deeper walkthrough.

Compare the host instructions

Using more than one coding agent? Follow the separate instructions for [Cursor](/codebase-coffee/install/cursor) or [Claude Code](/codebase-coffee/install/claude-code). Claude Code uses a marketplace plugin; Cursor and Codex use agent targets in the skills CLI.

Return to the [install overview](/codebase-coffee/install) for the complete host list, or read [how codebase-coffee works](/codebase-coffee/how-it-works) before your first scan.

The skill definition, issues, and releases are public on GitHub.

Good to know

Codex does not provide the Claude Code morning auto-offer. Start coffee yourself with `/codebase-coffee` or ask for today’s codebase refresher.

codebase-coffee reads the current repository and writes a personal `.codebase-coffee.md` curriculum at its root.
