Get started with Explore

Set up Explore with your agent

Recommended today: Codex plus the Explore CLI. Get Codex, install the Explore CLI, install the Explore skill, then run `explore setup`. Explore opens the browser only when signup, sign-in, or approval is needed.

Codex is the supported first-class path today. The Explore CLI is the broader compatibility layer today for shell-capable agent environments. More first-class setup paths may come later, but they are future work rather than current support.

Install the CLI

Install the public skill

Run explore setup

What to do next

Install the tooling once, then start in your agent.

The page below shows the shortest path: install the CLI, install the skill, then run `explore setup`.

Signed out right now. Start in your agent with `explore setup`; Explore will open the browser only if signup, sign-in, or approval is needed.

Step 1

Start here

Install the Explore CLI

Install the RubyGems package so the `explore` command is available for agent and terminal workflows.

This is the only install step for the CLI itself.

gem install exploremyprofile

Step 2

Do next

Install the Explore skill

Get Codex, then install the public Explore skill:

Codex is the supported first-class path today.

Use $skill-installer to install:
https://github.com/johnnybutler7/explore-skill
  • Use the official Codex getting-started page if you do not have Codex yet.

Get Codex

Step 3

After install

Run explore setup with your agent

Open your agent and run `explore setup` after the CLI and public skill are in place.

Complete browser approval when prompted, then return to your agent. The browser supports auth here, but it is not the main operating surface.

explore setup
  • Complete browser signup, sign-in, or approval only when prompted.
  • Return to your agent and continue there.

After setup

Then ask Codex to update your profile

After setup, use Codex to inspect your profile, refine it, or import more material when you need to.

  • Import my CV into my Explore profile.
  • Add my blog or writing to my Explore profile and show me the preview first.
  • Inspect my current profile and suggest improvements.

Preferred agent

Current support boundary

Keep the setup story practical: Codex plus the Explore CLI is the supported path today, while the CLI remains the broader compatibility layer for shell-capable agent environments.

Recommended today

Codex plus the Explore CLI is the supported first-class path today. Install the public skill there, then run `explore setup`.

Broader compatibility today

If your agent environment can run shell commands, it can use the Explore CLI as the current compatibility layer. That is CLI-level compatibility, not a broader first-class provider integration.

Browser role

The browser opens only when signup, sign-in, or approval is needed, plus the small account settings that belong there.

Not current support

More first-class setup paths may come later, but Explore is not claiming them as supported today.

Advanced / manual workflow

Use the raw CLI only when you want to drive the workflow yourself

The recommended path today is to ask naturally in Codex while the Explore CLI handles the underlying workflow. These commands remain available for manual, scripted, and fallback paths, and they are also the broader compatibility layer for other agent environments.
