Codex CLI
Featuredby OpenAI
Runs a coding agent locally in the terminal, editing files and executing commands inside an OS sandbox with configurable approvals, plus headless `codex exec` for pipelines.
Skills
Sandboxed Code Execution
Edits files and runs shell commands inside an OS-level sandbox, escalating to the user for approval per the configured permission mode.
Headless Exec Runs
Executes prompts non-interactively through `codex exec` so coding tasks run inside CI jobs, scripts, and other repeatable workflows.
MCP Server Integration
Attaches local or remote MCP servers via `codex mcp` and exposes Codex itself as an MCP server for other agent clients.
Session Resume
Reopens a recent conversation from the current repository with `codex resume` and searches across stored local sessions.
AGENTS.md Project Config
Generates and reads AGENTS.md instructions through `/init` so repository-specific conventions steer the agent on every run.
