Ask Codex

Executes the local

codex
CLI to get coding assistance.

Note: This skill requires the

codex
CLI to be installed and available in your system's PATH.

Quick start

Run a single query with

codex exec
:

codex exec "Your question or task here"

Common options

OptionDescription
-m MODEL
Specify model
-C DIR
Set working directory
--full-auto
Enable automatic execution with workspace-write sandbox

For all available options, run

codex exec --help

Examples

Ask a coding question:

codex exec "How do I implement a binary search in Python?"

Analyze code in a specific directory:

codex exec -C /path/to/project "Explain the architecture of this codebase"

Use a specific model:

codex exec -m o4-mini "Write a function that validates email addresses"

Let Codex make changes automatically:

codex exec --full-auto "Add error handling to all API endpoints"

Notes

  • Codex runs non-interactively with
    exec
    subcommand
  • By default, output goes to stdout and no files are modified without approval
  • Use
    --full-auto
    for automatic execution within sandbox constraints
  • The command inherits the current working directory unless
    -C
    is specified
