## Why This is another incremental step in the `codex-core` -> `codex-tools` migration called out in `AGENTS.md`: keep pure tool-definition and wire-shaping logic out of `codex-core` so the core crate can stay focused on runtime orchestration. `request_user_input` already had its spec and mode-availability helpers in `codex-tools` after #16471. The remaining argument validation and normalization still lived in the core runtime handler, which left that tool split across the two crates. ## What Changed - Export `REQUEST_USER_INPUT_TOOL_NAME` and `normalize_request_user_input_args()` from `codex-rs/tools/src/request_user_input_tool.rs`. - Use that `codex-tools` surface from `codex-rs/core/src/tools/spec.rs` and `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/request_user_input.rs`. - Keep the core handler responsible for payload parsing, session dispatch, cancellation handling, and response serialization. This is intended to be a straight refactor with no behavior change. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-tools` - `cargo test -p codex-core request_user_input`
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
