codex-sdk-starter

---

name: codex-sdk-starter description: Use when asked to introduce Codex SDK usage for automation (CI/CD, bots, internal tools) and provide a minimal, safe starter pattern.

Goal: provide a minimal, practical Codex SDK starter pattern without forcing repo dependencies unless explicitly requested.

Workflow:

1. Clarify the use case

   • CI triage, PR generation, internal bot, batch refactors, etc.

2. Provide the minimal TS usage pattern

   • Install: npm install @openai/codex-sdk
   • Start/resume a thread and call run() multiple times.
   • Persist threadId for continuity.

3. Recommend safe operational boundaries

   • Limit scope to a repo/workspace.
   • Require tests/typecheck before finalizing.
   • Avoid destructive operations without explicit approval.

4. Optional: propose an internal wrapper

   • A small module that standardizes thread creation, logging, timeouts, and artifact capture.
