How to add clearer-response checks to Codex sessions with Nopus

Install the Nopus Codex plugin so each completed answer gets a bounded check for abstract prose.

Who it is forA developer using Codex who wants shorter, more direct answers to coding tasks without checking each one by hand.

The problemCodex answers sometimes bury the main point under abstract framing and filler.

The outcomeCodex requests at most one clearer rewrite when a completed response crosses the chosen threshold.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22 or newer with the `node` command available
  • One supported coding agent installed: Pi, Claude Code, or Codex
  • Permission to add a plugin or marketplace in the chosen agent

Steps

  1. Make sure Node.js 22 or newer is installed and the node command is available.
  2. Run codex plugin marketplace add Vistyy/nopus.
  3. Run codex plugin add nopus@nopus.
  4. Start a new Codex session so the plugin and its skills load.
  5. Run $nopus-configure medium to set the default sensitivity.

Prompt for your agent

Using the nopus repo at Vistyy/nopus, run `codex plugin marketplace add Vistyy/nopus` and `codex plugin add nopus@nopus`, then start a new Codex session in <project directory> and run `$nopus-configure medium`. Expected output: the plugin installed and the sensitivity set to medium. Verify that a long, abstract Codex answer triggers the message "nopus requested a clearer rewrite."

Caveat. The README gives observed rates from Pi responses only, so expect different intervention frequency in Codex.
