Installation

Quick Start

Install dex globally:

$ npm install -g @zeeg/dex

$ pnpm add -g @zeeg/dex

$ bun add -g @zeeg/dex

Or use the skills installer for Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, or Cursor:

$ npx skills add dcramer/dex

$ pnpx skills add dcramer/dex

$ bunx skills add dcramer/dex

Configure Your Project

Add dex instructions to your project's AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md file so Claude and other AI agents know to use it for task management:

## Task Management
Use `/dex` to break down complex work, track progress across sessions, and coordinate multi-step implementations.

Place this file in your project root and commit it to version control so your team shares the same context.
