About ask-codex
A skill that runs the local `codex` CLI to answer coding questions or carry out coding tasks. It supports selecting a model and working directory, resuming the latest session, and optionally enabling automatic workspace edits.
Key features
- 01Run coding requests with `codex exec`
- 02Choose a model and working directory
- 03Resume the latest session
- 04Enable sandboxed automatic edits
Use cases
- 01Ask questions about code
- 02Analyze a project directory
- 03Request code changes
- 04Continue a previous coding session

Details
From the project READMEAsk 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
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-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
Resume a session
Use exec resume --last to continue the most recent session with a follow-up prompt:
codex exec resume --last "Your follow-up prompt"
Note:
exec-level flags such as-Cand--full-autoare not accepted byexec resume— the resumed session inherits the original session's working directory. To adjust the sandbox on resume, use-c sandbox_mode="workspace-write";-m MODELremains available.
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 <model> "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
execsubcommand - By default, output goes to stdout and no files are modified without approval
- Use
--full-autofor automatic execution within sandbox constraints - The command inherits the current working directory unless
