fix: declare ON_USE rather than ON_INSTALL for the Codex plugin policy - #38
Merged
Conversation
This plugin ships skills only: no MCP server, no API, nothing to sign in to. ON_INSTALL is what service connectors declare, and it risks Codex asking users for credentials we never take. Both values are in production use, so this is not a spec question but a semantic one, and the closest analogues settle it: OpenAI's own skills-only local plugins -- documents, pdf, spreadsheets, presentations, template-creator -- all declare ON_USE, while ON_INSTALL is what github, slack, stripe, notion and figma use. 21 shipped plugins declare ON_USE.

ON_USE:documents,pdf,spreadsheets,presentations,template-creator.ON_INSTALLis whatgithub,slack,stripe,notionandfigmadeclare. Across the plugins visible in a local Codex install, 21 declareON_USEand none of them connect to an external service the way ours does not.The published spec names only
ON_INSTALLand does not cover the no-auth case, which is why this was left alone in #37 pending evidence rather than guessed at.Scope
