Will it 100% work with the Codex app for Windows OS and PoweShell , without Linux?

More precisely,
Will it 100% work with the Codex surface of the ChatGPT app for Windows OS, without any Linux ?
Thanks.

Thanks for asking. For Codex, please use the Codex sibling distribution: https://github.com/Imbad0202/academic-research-skills-codex — its README covers installation for Codex CLI and Codex Desktop, including Windows: the plugin ships materialized file copies instead of symlinks specifically so Windows plugin caches work, and the verification scripts need Python 3. The install commands in the README are written for bash, so on PowerShell you may need minor adaptations (e.g. Remove-Item -Recurse instead of rm -rf).

Two honest caveats. I develop and test on macOS, and there is no maintainer-run end-to-end verification on Windows/PowerShell yet — so treat it as "expected to work, please report anything that doesn't" rather than a 100% guarantee. Also, the port targets Codex CLI / Codex Desktop reading locally installed skills; whether the Codex surface embedded in the ChatGPT app loads local skills is an OpenAI platform question I can't confirm — please check OpenAI's docs for that.

If you try it on Windows and hit anything, please open an issue on the codex repo — a Windows end-to-end report would be genuinely useful.

The reason I asked is as follows:
There are many other bash scripts in your Codex sibling distribution, in addition to the install commands in the README.
Does it mean I need to change/adapt all of them for Windows PowerShell?

[Imbad0202]

No. Those bash scripts sit in the repo, but you do not run them. The suite's own tooling is Python 3. If you install through the plugin or Codex Desktop path, you type no bash at all. If you use the direct install snippet, put the Python command on one line first (PowerShell does not read the trailing \ line continuations), and in the update snippet replace rm -rf with Remove-Item -Recurse -Force. If your Python 3 is named python rather than python3, use that.
