Agent IDE — Codex fork for AI-native development environment
5b6911cb1b
## Summary
This PR adds support for skill-level permissions in .codex/openai.yaml
and wires that through the skill loading pipeline.
## What’s included
1. Added a new permissions section for skills (network, filesystem, and
macOS-related access).
2. Implemented permission parsing/normalization and translation into
runtime permission profiles.
3. Threaded the new permission profile through SkillMetadata and loader
flow.
## Follow-up
A follow-up PR will connect these permission profiles to actual sandbox
enforcement and add user approval prompts for executing binaries/scripts
from skill directories.
## Example
`openai.yaml` snippet:
```
permissions:
network: true
fs_read:
- "./data"
- "./data"
fs_write:
- "./output"
macos_preferences: "readwrite"
macos_automation:
- "com.apple.Notes"
macos_accessibility: true
macos_calendar: true
```
compiled skill permission profile metadata (macOS):
```
SkillPermissionProfile {
sandbox_policy: SandboxPolicy::WorkspaceWrite {
writable_roots: vec![
AbsolutePathBuf::try_from("/ABS/PATH/TO/SKILL/output").unwrap(),
],
read_only_access: ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted {
include_platform_defaults: true,
readable_roots: vec![
AbsolutePathBuf::try_from("/ABS/PATH/TO/SKILL/data").unwrap(),
],
},
network_access: true,
exclude_tmpdir_env_var: false,
exclude_slash_tmp: false,
},
// Truncated for readability; actual generated profile is longer.
macos_seatbelt_permission_file: r#"
(allow user-preference-write)
(allow appleevent-send
(appleevent-destination "com.apple.Notes"))
(allow mach-lookup (global-name "com.apple.axserver"))
(allow mach-lookup (global-name "com.apple.CalendarAgent"))
...

npm i -g @openai/codex
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 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.
