Yifan Yang f9db99853b feat(plugins): ship SkillOpt-Sleep for Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot
Restructure into plugins/{claude-code,codex,copilot}/ — one engine, three thin
shells, all calling the shared plugins/run-sleep.sh -> python -m skillopt_sleep.

  - claude-code/: existing plugin moved here; runner delegates to the shared
    launcher (fixes repo-root resolution after the move).
  - codex/: ~/.codex/prompts/sleep.md custom prompt + ~/.agents/skills SKILL.md +
    install.sh + AGENTS.md hint — Codex's documented, stable extension surfaces.
  - copilot/: a stdlib-only MCP server (mcp_server.py) exposing sleep_* tools,
    plus mcp-config.example.json and a copilot-instructions snippet. Verified end
    to end (initialize -> tools/list -> tools/call returns real engine output).
  - plugins/README.md overview table; main README News + a dedicated SkillOpt-Sleep
    section; pyproject lists skillopt_sleep as a first-class package.

Decoupling emphasized throughout: open-source tool (skillopt_sleep/) with zero
dependency on the research package. 29 tests pass; all three shells resolve.

SkillOpt-Sleep — Codex integration

Give your Codex agent a nightly sleep cycle: it reviews past sessions offline, replays your recurring tasks on your own Codex budget, and consolidates what it learns into validated memory + skills behind a held-out gate. Same engine as the Claude Code plugin (skillopt_sleep), wrapped for Codex.

Verified on Codex: on the public gbrain-evals skillopt-v1 benchmark, a deliberately deficient skill goes 0.00 → 1.00 on a held-out set with the Codex backend (incl. the tool-use seed via a real tool loop). See ../../docs/sleep/FINAL_REPORT.md.

What Codex supports (and what we use)

Codex (@openai/codex) extends via AGENTS.md instructions, skills at ~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md, and custom prompts at ~/.codex/prompts/<name>.md (invoked as /<name>). This integration ships all three, plus a shared runner.

Install

git clone <repo-url> SkillOpt-Sleep
cd SkillOpt-Sleep
bash plugins/codex/install.sh          # installs the /sleep prompt + skill
export SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO="$(pwd)"    # so the runner is found from anywhere

Requires Python ≥ 3.10 and the codex CLI on PATH.

Use

/sleep status      # what's happened
/sleep dry-run     # safe preview, stages nothing
/sleep run         # full cycle, stages a reviewed proposal (no live edits)
/sleep adopt       # apply the staged proposal (with backup)

Or call the engine directly:

python -m skillopt_sleep run --project "$(pwd)" --backend codex

Default backend is mock (no API spend). --backend codex uses your Codex budget for real improvement. All the controllable knobs (--gate on|off, --rollouts-k, --budget-tokens, --preferences, optimizer/target split) work identically — see ../../docs/sleep/CONTROLLABLE_DREAMING.md.

Notes / status

  • Codex's exec runs shell, so the real-tool-loop replay (e.g. the tool_called: search benchmark seed) works natively.
  • Codex's standalone plugin-package manifest format is not yet a stable public spec; this integration uses the documented AGENTS.md + skills + prompts mechanisms, which are stable. If/when a codex plugin package format ships, we'll add a one-file manifest.
