Minimal installation

Install only the core workflow skill:

bash
python ~/.codex/skills/.system/skill-installer/scripts/install-skill-from-github.py \
  --repo helberfmelo/codex-workflows \
  --path skills/codex-workflows

Post-install

  1. Restart VS Code/Codex.
  2. Activate with an explicit prompt: cw /orchestrate <objective>cw /helpcw /examplesUse codex-workflows in /orchestrate and <objective>.

Optional local bootstrap via unified CLI:

bash
python scripts/codexwf.py init --project .

Optional Composer channel (PHP users)

If your team prefers Composer scripts, use:

bash
composer codex:install-all

This wrapper calls the same official Python installer under the hood.
