Codex

Codex is the OpenAI coding-agent path for Avibe users.

Install

npm install -g @openai/codex
Verify:
codex --version

Models & reasoning effort

Codex runs on your own OpenAI access. In the Workbench you pick the model and the reasoning effort per agent — lower for quick edits, higher for hard problems — the same knobs you’d set on the CLI, surfaced where you route work. Keep credentials local.

Configure in Avibe

In the setup wizard:
  1. Enable Codex.
  2. Confirm the codex CLI path.
  3. Choose a default working directory.
  4. Route one or more chat channels to Codex.

Best for

Quick experiments and prototypes, and tasks where you want to dial reasoning effort up or down. Route your #prototypes or experiment channels here — see Thread sessions for routing.

Usage notes

  • Keep OpenAI credentials local.
  • Use one chat thread per task.
  • Keep large tasks scoped with clear acceptance criteria.
