Install
Install for Claude Code
In Claude Code, run:
/plugin marketplace add CharlesWiltgen/AxiomThen install the plugin:
- Use
/pluginto open the plugin menu - Search for "axiom"
- Click "Install"
Verify with /plugin → "Manage and install" — Axiom should be listed.
Install for Codex
npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom -a codex -gThis installs all 184 skills globally using npx skills. To update later, run npx skills update.
Verifying Installation
Use /plugins in Codex to open the plugin browser — Axiom should appear as installed. You can also run npx skills list -g to see installed skills.
For more installation options (project-scoped, team sharing, MCP server), see the Codex install guide.
MCP Server (Optional)
Axiom's MCP server lets Codex search across all skills by keyword. Add it with one command:
codex mcp add axiom -- npx -y axiom-mcpOr add it manually to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.axiom]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "axiom-mcp"]For project-scoped config, use .codex/config.toml in your repo root instead.
Use Skills
Skills activate automatically based on your questions. Just ask:
"I'm getting BUILD FAILED in Xcode"
"How do I fix Swift 6 concurrency errors?"
"My app has memory leaks"
"I need to add a database column safely"
"Check my SwiftUI code for performance issues"Skills cover SwiftUI, concurrency, data persistence, performance, networking, accessibility, Apple Intelligence, build debugging, and more. See the full skill catalog for everything available.
Troubleshooting
Skills Not Activating
Axiom skills route automatically based on iOS-specific keywords in your questions. If skills aren't firing:
- Use specific terms: "SwiftUI", "build failed", "memory leak", "@MainActor", "SwiftData" trigger routing
- Use
/axiom:ask(Claude Code): Explicitly routes your question to the right skill - Restart: Reload Claude Code or Codex
