I posted this a couple weeks ago, but wanted to share a follow-up with actual usage notes instead of just re-linking the repo. The plugin is still intentionally tiny: it exposes Codex CLI’s bundled imagegen path as Claude Code slash commands: /codex-image:generate “5 logo variations of a brass compass on white, save under images/logos/” /codex-image:edit input.png “Replace background with a clean white studio backdrop” /codex-image:status The repo: https://github.com/KingGyuSuh/codex-image-in-cc Where this actually seems useful After feedback and a bit more testing, the best use cases are not “general image generation.” Dedicated image tools are already good at that. The useful part is when the image belongs in the repo or current coding session: generating icons, logos, placeholders, docs images, or mock assets directly into project folders editing an existing local image without leaving Claude Code creating quick visual variants while building UI keeping asset generation close to the implementation work instead of switching apps So the pitch is less “Claude Code can generate images now” and more: If the image asset is part of the codebase, generate/edit it from the same agent session. Architecture recap Each SKILL.md is basically a one-line dispatcher into a Node wrapper, and the Node wrapper spawns: codex exec with a small instruction prefix. The plugin does not implement image generation logic itself. Codex’s bundled imagegen skill does the actual interpretation: paths, size, quality, transparency, count, edits, etc. The project README has the current requirements and install instructions. It requires Claude Code with plugin support, @openai/codex CLI v0.124.0 or later, an active codex login session, and Node.js 18.18+. The default path does not require OPENAI_API_KEY; Codex can use a ChatGPT login or API-key login.
