@Saccc_c: As a heavy Codex user, here are several plugins I frequently use daily: 1. The Desktop Operation Trio (computer use + chrome + browser) – All three can control your computer, but they differ in scope and scenarios: - computer use: Codex's unique treasure, with the widest range of operations. Suitable for native app operations, system settings, etc. - chrome: Takes over your real browser, ideal for tasks requiring site logins, generally faster than computer use. - browser: Uses Codex's built-in browser, best for local web development and debugging.

HyperFrames A must-have tool for social media videos, assisting in creating beautiful video motion effects. Many trending AI videos on Douyin are made with tools like HyperFrames, and big YouTube creators abroad also recommend and use them. The open-source ecosystem is rich, with many official templates you can use directly (https://hyperframes.dev). 3. Build Web Apps Codex's frontend design capabilities are still quite poor; building from scratch usually looks terrible. This plugin includes a set of web design and development skills. Have Codex generate a visual reference image first, then use image-to-code to replicate it – the result is much more stable than relying purely on text descriptions. 4. Superpowers A star-level development plugin with over 230k stars on GitHub. It includes a full structured development workflow: brainstorming, writing specs, TDD, debugging, code review. Even if you're not into development, it's useful – I often use its brainstorming skill to break down problems and discuss solutions with AI. 5. Vibe Coding Essentials: GitHub + Vercel The GitHub plugin lets Codex connect directly to your GitHub repositories and integrate with your existing workflow; Vercel handles one-click deployment of your vibe coding apps, making them easy to share with others.

As a heavy user of Codex, let me share a few plugins I use regularly:

  1. Computer Operation Trio (computer use + chrome + browser)
    All three can control your computer, but their use cases and scope differ:
  • computer use: Codex’s unique treasure feature with the widest operation range. Ideal for native app operations, system settings, etc.
  • chrome: Takes over your real browser, suitable for operations on sites that require login. Generally faster than computer use.
  • browser: Uses Codex’s built-in browser, great for local web development and debugging.

  1. HyperFrames
    A must-have for social media video creators. It helps create stunning video animations.
    Many viral AI videos on Douyin are made with tools like HyperFrames. Big YouTube creators abroad also recommend and use it.
    Its open‑source ecosystem is rich, and the official site offers plenty of templates you can use directly (https://hyperframes.dev).

  2. Build Web Apps
    Codex’s frontend design ability is still quite poor. Starting from scratch usually yields something unimpressive.
    This plugin includes a set of web design & development skills. Have Codex generate a visual reference first, then use image-to-code to replicate the design. The result is much more stable than relying on plain text descriptions.

  3. Superpowers
    A star‑level development plugin with over 230k stars on GitHub. It comes with a complete structured development workflow: brainstorming, writing proposals, TDD, debugging, code review.
    Even if you’re not a developer, you’ll find it useful. I often use the brainstorm skill to break down problems and discuss solutions with the AI.

  4. Vibe Coding Essentials: GitHub + Vercel
    The GitHub plugin lets Codex connect directly to your GitHub repos and fit into your existing workflow.
    Vercel handles one‑click deployment of your vibe coding app, making it easy to share with others.
