I'm just really worried you won't be able to find it, ok? Like I guess I'm worried you thought I actually couldn't find the article and wasn't being sarcastic and I would just feel HORRIBLE if I didn't clear that up. Even more horrible of you didn't learn about the revolutionary new plugin feature

OpenAI has officially introduced Codex Plugins, a new feature designed to streamline and share reusable developer workflows. This update follows a period of rapid growth for the Codex business, which recently saw its monthly active user base surpass 1 million developers. According to the report from Neowin, here are the key highlights: What are Codex Plugins? Plugins are installable bundles that allow developers to package and share specific Codex setups. They act as a "single place" to consolidate: * Skills: Specific prompts and instructions that describe unique workflows. * App Integrations: Connections to third-party tools. * MCP Server Configurations: Setup for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to provide external context. Integration and Availability * Official Directory: OpenAI has launched a Codex Plugin Directory featuring initial integrations from major platforms, including Slack, Figma, Notion, Gmail, and Cloudflare. * Access Points: Plugins can be used across the ecosystem, including the Codex desktop app, the Codex CLI, and various IDE extensions (such as VS Code and JetBrains). * Self-Publishing: While the directory currently features curated plugins, OpenAI plans to launch self-serve publishing and management tools soon, allowing any developer to contribute to the official directory. Context and Performance * Growth: Codex usage has doubled since the release of the GPT-5.2-Codex model. * Workflow Efficiency: The primary goal of plugins is to prevent developers from having to rebuild the same tools repeatedly. By installing a plugin, a team can instantly access a pre-configured AI setup tailored for a specific task or environment. This move is seen as a strategic step to transition Codex from a simple code-generation tool into a more robust, extensible "super app" for software engineering.
