codex

---

name: codex description: Use when operating Codex CLI itself (config, profiles, sandbox, approvals, and safe usage patterns).

Operating guidelines

1. Prefer safe defaults: --sandbox workspace-write and approvals on-request unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.
2. Make config changes explicit and minimal (document what changed and why).
3. When troubleshooting CLI behavior, capture:
   • codex --version
   • /status output
   • relevant config files (e.g., config.toml)
4. Avoid leaking secrets into logs; redact tokens and API keys.

Common actions

• Validate configuration quickly via codex exec --help and codex features list.
• Use CODEX_HOME to switch between global and project-local setups.
