Installation
Install NZT in Codex CLI
Guide to installing NZT in Codex CLI on Windows with a single PowerShell command: requirements, where AGENTS.md and the skills go, loading and updating.
A global install, for the whole machine. It is not a plugin: it is a set of standalone skills plus a delimited block of text in your provider’s instructions file.
Requirements
- Codex CLI installed (the
codexcommand is available). - Windows 10/11 with PowerShell.
Install with one command
Paste it into PowerShell:
irm https://nzt-ai.com/nzt/install-codex.ps1 | iexOne-command install is coming soon. The command below is an example: its address does not exist yet.
What it installs and where
| What | Path |
|---|---|
| Instructions | $CODEX_HOME/AGENTS.md (defaults to ~/.codex/AGENTS.md) |
| Skills | ~/.agents/skills/ |
In the instructions file, it adds a delimited block:
<!-- nzt:start --> ... kernel + provider adapter ... <!-- nzt:end -->
- Changing
CODEX_HOMEmoves the instructions, not the skills. - Skills do not go in
~/.codex/skills. If that folder exists, the installer warns you.
How it installs
- It simulates before writing, and only then asks.
- It respects what you already have in the instructions file and keeps a backup (
.nzt-backup) the first time. - It never overwrites a file it did not write, and it keeps your local edits.
- It is idempotent: installing again updates in place.
- It uninstalls completely: it removes only what its manifest lists.
Loading
Start codex: the main thread loads NZT from the global AGENTS.md. Then follow getting started.
Update
Run the install command again: it is idempotent and updates in place, keeping what you edited.
