PromptRail Plugins

Open-source reasoning-effort routing for Codex and Claude Code, using the subscriptions users already have.

PromptRail classifies each submitted prompt into an effort grade. A loopback-only proxy applies that grade to the outgoing model request while preserving the user's existing ChatGPT or claude.ai authentication.

This repository contains only the client integrations. PromptRail's hosted routing service, classification technology, evaluation data, and infrastructure are not part of this repository.

Plugins

Client	Levels	Subscription
Codex	6	ChatGPT
Claude Code	5	claude.ai

Both integrations fail visibly when routing, authentication, or protocol validation fails. They do not silently select a default effort or switch to API billing.

Quick install

Install the Codex router with one command:

npx @promptrail/plugins install codex

The installer asks for the PromptRail access token without echoing it. Get your access token at promptrail.ai/plugins. For automated installs, provide the token through the environment:

PROMPTRAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN="..." npx @promptrail/plugins install codex

Claude Code uses the same command shape:

npx @promptrail/plugins install claude

Check or remove an installation with status or uninstall:

npx @promptrail/plugins status codex
npx @promptrail/plugins uninstall codex

Before installing

You need:

• Node.js 20 or newer.
• A current Codex or Claude Code installation.
• A PromptRail beta access token. Request access at support@promptrail.ai.

Never commit your PromptRail access token to a repository or shell script.

Codex

Codex must be authenticated with ChatGPT:

codex login status

The quick installer above is recommended. To install from a source checkout instead:

git clone https://github.com/PythonIaMath/PromptRail-Plugins.git
cd PromptRail-Plugins

node bin/promptrail-codex-router.mjs install \
  --grader-url "https://promptrail--promptrail-codex-effort-grader-effortgrader-web.modal.run" \
  --token "$PROMPTRAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Start a new Codex thread after installation.

Check status:

node bin/promptrail-codex-router.mjs status

Uninstall and restore the previous Codex configuration:

node bin/promptrail-codex-router.mjs uninstall

Claude Code

Claude Code must be using a first-party claude.ai subscription. API credentials and existing third-party gateways are rejected.

claude auth status --json

The quick installer above is recommended. To install from a source checkout instead:

git clone https://github.com/PythonIaMath/PromptRail-Plugins.git
cd PromptRail-Plugins

node bin/promptrail-claude-router.mjs install \
  --grader-url "https://promptrail--promptrail-claude-effort-grader-claudeeffort-f35715.modal.run" \
  --token "$PROMPTRAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Start a new Claude Code session after installation.

Check status:

node bin/promptrail-claude-router.mjs status

Uninstall and restore the previous Claude settings:

node bin/promptrail-claude-router.mjs uninstall

Privacy

PromptRail does not store or sell any of your data.

Development

Run every client test:

npm test

Validate the Codex plugin:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/.system/plugin-creator/scripts/validate_plugin.py \
  plugins/promptrail-codex-router

Validate the Claude plugin and marketplace:

claude plugin validate plugins/promptrail-claude-router
claude plugin validate .

Contributing

Issues and pull requests for the client integrations are welcome. The hosted routing service is maintained separately and is outside the scope of this repository.
