Agent IDE — Codex fork for AI-native development environment
59533a2c26
### Motivation - Prevent newly-created skills from being placed in unexpected locations by prompting for an install path and defaulting to a discoverable location so skills are usable immediately. - Make the `skill-creator` instructions explicit about the recommended default (`~/.codex/skills` / `$CODEX_HOME/skills`) so the agent and users follow a consistent, discoverable convention. ### Description - Updated `codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/skill-creator/SKILL.md` to add a user prompt: "Where should I create this skill? If you do not have a preference, I will place it in ~/.codex/skills so Codex can discover it automatically.". - Added guidance before running `init_skill.py` that if the user does not specify a location, the agent should default to `~/.codex/skills` (equivalently `$CODEX_HOME/skills`) for auto-discovery. - Updated the `init_skill.py` examples in the same `SKILL.md` to use `~/.codex/skills` as the recommended default while keeping one custom path example. ### Testing - Ran `cargo test -p codex-skills` and the crate's unit test suite passed (`1 passed; 0 failed`). - Verified relevant discovery behavior in code by checking `codex-rs/utils/home-dir/src/lib.rs` (`find_codex_home` defaults to `~/.codex`) and `codex-rs/core/src/skills/loader.rs` (user skill roots include `$CODEX_HOME/skills`). ------ [Codex Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_i_69b75a50bb008322a278e55eb0ddccd6) |

or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
