Proposal: codex plugin install from git (MVP)

Context
Read #8512; this is a concrete MVP proposal. Happy to move/merge there if preferred.
Proposal
Add a small “git bundle” install path for sharing skills/prompts/MCP without a marketplace.
MVP behavior
codex plugin install <git-url|path>- Clone into
~/.codex/plugins/<name>and record source/version - Materialize:
skills/→~/.codex/skills/<plugin>/<skill>prompts/→~/.codex/prompts/<plugin>__<prompt>mcp.json→ translate into Codex MCP config- MCP auth: prompt at install time; store env var names by default (values opt‑in)
- MVP scoped to CLI only for now; if IDE/web parity is required, I can expand the scope.
Out of scope
- Marketplace/registry
- Hooks / agents / LSP
- Slash namespace changes (e.g.
/plugin:cmd)
Why
Fast team sharing via git; low‑risk, composable first step.
Open questions
- Prompt name collisions: force prefix vs warn+keep?
- MCP creds: env names only vs allow value storage?
- CLI‑only MVP ok, or should TUI
/pluginship with it?
Contribution
Happy to implement once scope is approved.
