## Why Users have asked for a `/ide` command in the TUI so Codex can use the active IDE session for live context such as the current file, open tabs, and selected ranges. We already support a similar feature in the Codex desktop app, so bringing it to the TUI makes sense. One subtle compatibility constraint is that the injected prompt wrapper and transcript stripping should match the desktop app and IDE extension. By using the same `## My request for Codex:` delimiter and hiding the injected context from transcript rendering the same way, threads created in the TUI render correctly in desktop and IDE surfaces, and threads created there replay correctly in the TUI, even when IDE context was included. Addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13834. ## What changed ### Summary This PR consists of four four pieces: 1. An IPC client that uses a socket (Mac/Linux) or named pipe (Windows) to talk to the IDE Extension 2. Logic that establishes the IPC connection and requests IDE context (open files, selection) on demand 3. Logic that injects this context into the user prompt (using the same technique as the desktop app) and hides the added context when rendering the prompt in the TUI transcript 4. A new slash command for enabling/disabling this mode and text within the footer to indicate when it's enabled ### Details - Added `/ide [on|off|status]` to the TUI, with bare `/ide` toggling IDE context on or off. - Added a Rust IDE context client that connects to the local Codex IDE IPC route as a client and requests context from the IDE extension flow. - Injected IDE context using the same prompt delimiter and transcript-stripping convention as the desktop app and IDE extension so shared threads render consistently across surfaces. - Added an `IDE context` status-line indicator while the feature is active and cleared it when enabling or fetching context fails. - Added handling for multiple selection ranges, oversized selections, interleaved IPC messages, and transient reconnect timing after quick toggles. ## Verification Did extensive manual testing in addition to running automated unit and regression tests. To test: - Launch VS Code (or Cursor) with the IDE extension. - Open one or more files in the IDE and select a range of text within one of them. - Start the TUI. - Ask the agent which files you have open in your IDE, and it should say that it does not know. - Enable `/ide` mode; note that `IDE context` appears in the lower right. - Ask the agent what files you have open in your IDE and what text is selected.

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.
