Install
Docmancer supports three Codex variants. All three install to the same skill path:
docmancer install codex
docmancer install codex-app
docmancer install codex-desktop
Each command installs the skill to two locations:
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
~/.codex/skills/docmancer/SKILL.md | Primary Codex skill path |
~/.agents/skills/docmancer/SKILL.md | Shared compatibility path (also read by Gemini, OpenCode, and others) |
Verify
After installation, confirm the skill is in place:
docmancer doctor
Look for the codex and codex-shared entries under "Installed skills". Both should show a file path.
How it works
Codex discovers skills from ~/.codex/skills/. The installed skill file teaches Codex to call docmancer query when it needs documentation context. No MCP server or background process is involved for docs retrieval.
The shared ~/.agents/skills/ path provides compatibility with other agents that read from this directory, so a single installation covers multiple tools.
Add docs and query
Make sure you have documentation indexed before using Codex with docmancer:
docmancer add https://docs.pytest.org
Then start Codex. When you ask about pytest, Codex will call docmancer query and receive a token-budgeted context pack from your local index.
