Install

Choose a package, install it, update it, remove it, and confirm that your coding agent is loading the version you expect.

Choose a package

The v0.6.0 release publishes three ZIP files.

  • Codex package: the most direct path for Codex users.
  • Claude package: the package used by the current Claude-oriented install path.
  • Portable bundle: a skills-first package that can be adapted to other coding agents.

The release page also includes a SHA-256 checksum file. Use it when you want to verify a downloaded archive.

Codex

Install Zimster from the public GitHub repository:

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/wazimmerman/zimster.gitcodex plugin add zimster@zimster --jsoncodex plugin list

Start a fresh Codex session after installation so the installed plugin and skills can be discovered.

Claude Code

The current Claude-oriented install flow is:

/plugin marketplace add wazimmerman/zimster/plugin install zimster@zimster/reload-plugins

Check the GitHub source page for any version-specific notes before installing into a newer Claude Code release.

Portable bundle

The portable archive is useful when you want the skills and supporting files without starting from a marketplace-specific package.

  1. Download the portable ZIP from the release page.
  2. Extract it into your chosen plugin or skills directory.
  3. Follow the placement rules for your coding agent.

Updates and removal

Updating usually means refreshing the marketplace source or reinstalling the newer release package, depending on the coding agent.

For Codex, remove or refresh the existing installation before changing its marketplace source. After an update, list installed plugins or open the plugin manager and confirm that the expected version is loaded.
