First public release of codex-image-in-cc — a Claude Code plugin that exposes Codex CLI's built-in imagegen skill as /codex-image:* user-invoked slash commands.

Skills

  • /codex-image:generate <natural-language image request> — generate one or more images. The full slash-command argument is passed verbatim to Codex's imagegen skill; output paths, sizes, quality, count, transparency, etc. are expressed in natural language inside the prompt.
  • /codex-image:edit <input-path> <edit instructions> — edit an existing image. The first whitespace-separated token is the input path (quoted paths with spaces are supported, e.g. "my photo.png" tint blue); the rest is the edit prompt. Input is attached via codex exec --image.
  • /codex-image:status — diagnostic for Node, Codex CLI version, login state, headless --full-auto support, and imagegen skill availability.

Authentication

Flows through codex login. OPENAI_API_KEY is not required for the default built-in image_gen path — ChatGPT subscription (Free tier included) or an OpenAI API key both work.

Architecture

Each SKILL.md is a 1-line node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-image.mjs" <subcommand> "$ARGUMENTS" invocation. The Node wrapper (~375 lines) does only argument splitting (for edit) and codex exec spawning with a ~6-line minimal instruction prefix. Image-generation intelligence lives entirely in Codex's bundled imagegen skill — this plugin is a pure dispatcher.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for call flow and load-bearing edge cases (notably: SKILL.md bash is not always executed verbatim by the model, which informed the wrapper-script design choice).

Install

claude plugin marketplace add KingGyuSuh/codex-image-in-cc
claude plugin install codex-image@codex-image-in-cc

Token cost

Agent tokens count against your Codex usage limit. A typical single-image low-quality turn is around 30k agent tokens on top of the image-generation cost itself.

Relationship to openai/codex-plugin-cc

Orthogonal and complementary. Install both — openai/codex-plugin-cc handles code review and task delegation under the /codex: namespace; this plugin handles image generation under /codex-image:.
