drzero-config
Configure DrZero using the shared Claude-compatible drzero.yml format and activate Codex agents
DrZero Configuration
View, validate, initialize, and edit shared DrZero settings. Codex uses the
same drzero.yml file shape as the Claude DrZero plugin so projects can switch
between Claude and Codex without rewriting configuration.
Codex Plugin Setup
When the drzero Codex plugin is installed, initialize it from chat:
@drzero run drzero-config init for this repo
Then confirm the shared configuration and plugin health:
@drzero drzero-config show
@drzero drzero-config validate
@drzero drzero-ping
This creates ./drzero.yml only when it is missing and installs DrZero support
scripts plus bundled agent templates under .codex/otc-awesome-llm. It does
not activate templates into .codex/agents by default, so @drzero remains the
primary plugin mention. It does not create a Codex-only JSON config; Codex and
Claude keep sharing the same DrZero YAML format.
Installation Prerequisite
Install the DrZero Codex bundle before using this skill:
make codex-install-drzero SCOPE=repo
Configurable Settings

Configuration File
Settings are stored in drzero.yml at the repository root. The global fallback
is ~/.claude/drzero.yml, matching the Claude runtime.
