Install keel for Codex and Claude Code
codex plugin marketplace add TanglmChris/keel
codex plugin marketplace upgrade keel-marketplace
codex plugin add keel@keel-marketplacePaste and run these commands in a terminal with Codex. They add and refresh the keel-marketplace catalog, then install this plugin.
Compatibility: the page URL and API slug “keel-3” remain stable.
- Codex:
keel-3@agent-plugin-marketplace→keel@keel-marketplace
The installer fetches third-party code from the source repository shown on this page. This directory validates manifest structure and source location, but does not perform a security audit; review the manifest, components, and source before installing.

Included Skills6
Align explicit requirements, implicit expectations, non-goals, observable acceptance, evidence, and decision authority before OpenSpec specs and executable tasks finalize. Use when authoring or updating a proposal, design, specs, or tasks, or when a request hides a material product choice. Do not use for routine implementation of an already-authorized task, unrelated conversation, or facts the repository can answer.
Debug Keel agent command or validation failures under Keel's selected OpenSpec task contract. Use when `/opsx:apply` or a selected task reports failed commands, failing tests, validation errors, retry-fuse decisions, or needs an evidence-bound failure report.
Create, validate, or clear the optional keel-handoff/v1 pointer override when human intent cannot be inferred uniquely.
Run the current agent's thin semantic consistency review after shared Keel Core gates and before task completion, sync, archive, or meaningful handoff.
Use when the user explicitly authorizes automatic execution or resume of exactly one OpenSpec task on Codex or Claude. Drives the single-task native goal lifecycle through Keel gates, keeps the current agent the sole holder of write authority, and stops at the task boundary. Never activate for ordinary apply, proposal work, ambiguous or multiple tasks, or OpenCode.
Drive Keel agent test-first or evidence-first execution for a selected OpenSpec task. Use when a task needs software tests, hardware testbench, assertions, lint, new behavior proof, regression coverage, or red/green evidence before implementation.
