Install Codex Dream Skin on Windows

A careful PowerShell workflow for installing and restoring Codex Dream Skin.

01

Review the repository

Download only from the current upstream GitHub repository and inspect the Windows scripts before execution.

02

Install with the upstream script

Follow the documented install-dream-skin.ps1 workflow. Stop if anything proposes changing API keys or unrelated settings.

03

Start the themed session

Use start-dream-skin.ps1 to launch the official Codex app with the local theme bridge.

04

Verify native controls

Check the sidebar, task content, menus, and composer. A decorative screenshot is not a valid theme.

05

Restore after use

Use the included restore workflow to stop injection and return Codex to its normal launch path.
