Agent IDE — Codex fork for AI-native development environment
998eb8f32b
## Summary
This PR updates `request_user_input` behavior and Default-mode guidance
to match current collaboration-mode semantics and reduce model
confusion.
## Why
- `request_user_input` should be explicitly documented as **Plan-only**.
- Tool description and runtime availability checks should be driven by
the **same centralized mode policy**.
- Default mode prompt needed stronger execution guidance and explicit
instruction that `request_user_input` is unavailable.
- Error messages should report the **actual mode name** (not aliases
that can read as misleading).
## What changed
- Centralized `request_user_input` mode policy in `core` handler logic:
- Added a single allowed-modes config (`Plan` only).
- Reused that policy for:
- runtime rejection messaging
- tool description text
- Updated tool description to include availability constraint:
- `"This tool is only available in Plan mode."`
- Updated runtime rejection behavior:
- `Default` -> `"request_user_input is unavailable in Default mode"`
- `Execute` -> `"request_user_input is unavailable in Execute mode"`
- `PairProgramming` -> `"request_user_input is unavailable in Pair
Programming mode"`
- Strengthened Default collaboration prompt:
- Added explicit execution-first behavior
- Added assumptions-first guidance
- Added explicit `request_user_input` unavailability instruction
- Added concise progress-reporting expectations
- Simplified formatting implementation:
- Inlined allowed-mode name collection into `format_allowed_modes()`
- Kept `format_allowed_modes()` output for 3+ modes as CSV style
(`modes: a,b,c`)

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.
