description: Set up a project's harness from the installed Codex plugin, using its matching Python engine and generating Codex agents and workflow skills.
---

Resolve the installed plugin root from this skill file: two parent directories above `skills/hm-make/`. Use that absolute path; do not search another runtime's cache.

Use the requested project directory. Reuse existing configuration. For a new project, collect any missing meaningful preferences (Side or Production preset, locale); respect preferences already given. The script requires Python 3 and uv on PATH.

Run `python3 "<installed-plugin-root>/scripts/codex_setup.py" make "<project>"` with explicit `--preset` and `--locale` when chosen (SPEC strictness derives from the preset; change it later with `/hm:configure`). The bundled bootstrap selects the published engine version matching the plugin release and generates Codex assets through the engine's normal generator.

Read the JSON receipt. Report completion only when `state` is `complete`; otherwise identify the pending layers and fixed error code. Do not interpret plugin installation alone as project setup. Preserve existing targets and custom blocks. Start a new Codex thread if newly generated skills are not yet discovered.
