Codex

The desktop app has three modes: Chat, Work and Codex.

Either installation method lets you use Helm in the desktop app and terminal on this computer, except in Chat, which lacks the local project and terminal access Helm requires.

Desktop app

Install

  1. Open the sidebar Plugins icon to reach Customize → Plugins.
  2. Choose Add → Add a marketplace. Enter myowinthein/agent-helm in Source, then click Add marketplace.
  3. Select Personal and find the Helm marketplace. Click + beside Helm to install it. It may appear as agent-helm or Agent Helm.
  4. Open Helm under Installed. Check its Version and that all ten skills are enabled.
  5. Start a fresh chat in your project workspace. Type $ and select a Helm workflow, such as log, test or ship.

Update

  1. Open Settings → Integrations → Plugins → Marketplace.
  2. Find the Helm marketplace and click Upgrade.
  3. Reopen the plugin details and check its version and enabled skills.
  4. Start a fresh chat to check workflow availability.

Uninstall

  1. Open Customize → Plugins → Personal.
  2. Open Helm’s … menu and choose Uninstall.

Terminal

Install

codex plugin marketplace add myowinthein/agent-helm
codex plugin add agent-helm@agent-helm-marketplace
codex plugin list --marketplace agent-helm-marketplace

Start a fresh Codex session in your project folder. Type $ and select a Helm workflow, such as log, test or ship.

Update

codex plugin marketplace upgrade agent-helm-marketplace
codex plugin add agent-helm@agent-helm-marketplace
codex plugin list --marketplace agent-helm-marketplace

Check the installed version and enabled state, then start a fresh session.
