Dolphin AI Actions
August 13, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Dolphin right-click context menu actions (KDE service menus) for opening a selected directory in AI coding agents.
Available actions
| Action | Command | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Open In Claude | claude --dangerously-skip-permissions | Ready |
| Open In Claude Code (Safe Mode) | claude | Ready |
| Open In Codex | codex | Ready |
| Open In Codex (Permissive Mode) | codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox | Ready |
Each action opens Konsole at the selected directory and starts the corresponding CLI.
The Codex permissive-mode action bypasses both approval prompts and the Codex sandbox. Use it only where you trust the selected directory and its contents. See the official Codex CLI reference for the flag's security guidance.
Requirements
- KDE Plasma with Dolphin and Konsole
- The CLI for the action you want to install (
claudeorcodex) available on yourPATH
The actions use the KDE 6 service-menu directory: ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/.
Installation
Each action has its own installer. For example:
cd actions/open-in-codex
./install.sh
To install a Claude action instead, run the installer in its action directory:
cd actions/open-in-claude-code
./install.sh
Restart Dolphin if the new entry does not appear immediately:
kquitapp6 dolphin
dolphin &
Uninstallation
Run the matching uninstaller from the action directory:
cd actions/open-in-codex
./uninstall.sh
