Install guide
Unzip. Drag one folder. Paste two lines. That is the whole install, and you do not need to know your way around a terminal to do it.
Before you start
Both take a minute to check. If you have them, skip ahead.
The moment you buy, you get a link. It downloads one zip. Inside are a folder named claude, a folder named codex-plugin and a folder named zips. You will use one of them, depending on your tool.
Lost the link? Email support@orgengage.com from the address you bought with.
This is a plugin, not a writing app. It runs inside a tool you already have. Any one of these three works.
Claude Code from Anthropic. The terminal tool or the desktop app.
Codex from OpenAI. The terminal tool or the desktop app. Claude desktop app or claude.ai in the browser, on a paid plan. Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise.Install
Each tab is the full set of steps for that tool. Nothing is skipped and nothing is assumed.
Double-click the download to unzip it. Then drag the whole folder to your home folder or to Documents. Anywhere is fine as long as it stays there. Claude reads from this folder every time you write, so if it goes to the bin the commands stop working.
Open Terminal on a Mac or Windows Terminal on Windows and type claude. Any project folder is fine. The desktop app works too.
$ claudeclaude folder into the windowType the line below with a space at the end. Do not press Enter yet. Now open the folder you unzipped, find the folder named claude and drag it onto the Claude Code window. Its full location appears after your command. Now press Enter.
> /plugin marketplace add drag the claude folder hereAfter the drag it looks like this. Your path will have your own name in it.
> /plugin marketplace add /Users/you/creatordna/claudeMac. Right-click the claude folder, hold the Option key and choose Copy "claude" as Pathname. Paste it after the command.
Windows. Hold Shift, right-click the folder and choose Copy as path. Paste it after the command. Keep the quotes it adds.
Either way, if the path has a space in it, wrap the whole path in double quotes.
Two lines, one after the other. Press Enter after each.
> /plugin install creatordna@creatordna-skills> /reload-pluginsType a slash and the word creatordna. Six commands should appear. Pick the write one and give it a topic, or skip the command and just ask for a post in plain words.
> /creatordna:creatordna-write a post about the hiring mistake we made last quarterThat is the install. Every post comes back with a short footer naming the template and the hook it used.

On a Mac press Command and Space, type Terminal and press Enter. On Windows open Windows Terminal or PowerShell from the Start menu. You will type two lines here and never come back.

One line. Press Enter and wait for it to finish.
$ codex plugin add creatordna@creatordna-skillsPrefer clicking? Open Codex, type /plugins and pick Creator DNA from the list instead.
Open Codex and start a fresh conversation. Plugins load at the start of a session, so an old one will not see it. Call the write skill by name, or just ask for a post in plain words.

Double-click the download to unzip it. Inside, open the folder named zips. There is one file in it, creatordna-plugin.zip. Leave it zipped. That file is the whole plugin.
Open the Claude desktop app. In the left sidebar click Customize. Across the top you get Skills, Connectors and Plugins. Click Plugins, then Yours. That is the list of plugins you added yourself, and it is where new ones go in. The same path works at claude.ai in the browser. Plugins need a paid plan, so if you do not see Customize, that is why.
On the Yours tab click Add and choose Upload plugin. A file picker opens. Drag creatordna-plugin.zip onto it, or browse and pick it. Claude shows a notice about only installing plugins you trust. Confirm it. No terminal, no commands.
Start a new chat. Type a slash, or click the + button next to the message box, and the six Creator DNA skills appear in the list. Pick the write one, or just ask for a post in plain words.

A plugin you upload is saved on that computer only. On a second machine, do steps 2 and 3 again.
What you now have
You never have to remember these. Ask for a post in plain words and the right one runs on its own. They are here for when you want to reach for one directly.

Updates
Updates are free and you pull them yourself. Download again from your original link, replace the folder you installed from and run the lines for your tool. Both tools cache a plugin by version, which is why it has to go out and come back.
> /plugin marketplace update creatordna-skills
> /plugin uninstall creatordna@creatordna-skills
> /plugin install creatordna@creatordna-skills
> /reload-pluginsInside a Claude Code session.
$ codex plugin marketplace upgrade creatordna-skills
$ codex plugin remove creatordna@creatordna-skills && codex plugin add creatordna@creatordna-skillsIn a terminal. Then start a fresh Codex session.
Open Customize, then Plugins, then Yours. Remove the old Creator DNA from its three-dot menu, then Add, Upload plugin and drop the new creatordna-plugin.zip.
> /plugin uninstall creatordna@creatordna-skills
> /plugin marketplace remove creatordna-skills$ codex plugin remove creatordna@creatordna-skills
$ codex plugin marketplace remove creatordna-skillsOpen Customize, then Plugins, then Yours. Open Creator DNA, click the three-dot menu and choose Remove.
Nothing else was installed, so there is nothing else to clean up. Delete the folder whenever you like.
If something goes wrong
Plugins load when a session starts. Close Claude Code or Codex, open it again and try once more. On Claude Code you can also run /reload-plugins. In the Claude desktop app start a new chat, and check the plugin is switched on under Customize, then Plugins, then Yours.
The path has to point at the folder named claude for Claude Code or codex-plugin for Codex, not the folder around them. Check that the folder is still where you put it. If the path has a space in it, wrap it in double quotes.
Some windows do not accept a drop. Copy the path instead. Mac: right-click the folder, hold Option and choose Copy as Pathname. Windows: hold Shift, right-click and choose Copy as path. Paste it after the command.
The folder moved or was deleted. Both tools read the plugin from where you installed it. Put the folder back in the same place, or run the install steps again from wherever it lives now.
The tool itself is not installed on this machine, or the terminal was opened before it was installed. Install Claude Code or Codex first, close the terminal, open a new one and try again.
