 Plain English works as best-effort guidance — OMX inspects each prompt and may add advisory routing context to steer the model toward a suitable lane. This is **advisory prompt-routing context**: it does not activate a skill or workflow by itself. Explicit keywords remain the deterministic control surface when you want exact, guaranteed routing.

To opt out per prompt, include a phrase such as `no workflow`, `just chat`, or `plain answer`.

+This is the primary setup command for full OMX runtime wiring. Codex plugin install/discovery can expose packaged skills/workflows plus plugin-scoped companion metadata for MCP servers and apps, while native/runtime hooks remain setup-owned; it is not a replacement for `npm install -g oh-my-codex` plus `omx setup`.
