# Configure OpenAI Admin API Key

This command is only needed for dollar-cost tracking via `/codex-hud:costs-today/week/month`. Rate limits, token usage, and the statusline work without it.

First, check the current state:

```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/index.js" setup --json
```

If `"status": "connected"`, tell the user the key is already configured and working. Offer to replace it (optional).
