Overview

About This Skill

https://github.com/skills-directory/skill-codex

How to Use

[{"step":"Install and configure Codex CLI. Run `codex-cli setup` to authenticate and set up environment variables (e.g., `CODEX_API_KEY`).","tip":"Use `codex-cli --version` to verify installation. Ensure your Codex CLI is linked to the correct workspace."},{"step":"In your prompt, specify the command to execute using skill-codex. Include placeholders for dynamic inputs like `--env=[ENVIRONMENT]` or `--input=[FILE_PATH]`.","tip":"For complex commands, break them into smaller chunks or use a script file (e.g., `./scripts/deploy.sh`)."},{"step":"Execute the command via skill-codex. Monitor the session ID and status for real-time feedback. Redirect output to a log file if needed (e.g., `skill-codex --execute \"[COMMAND]\" > output.log`).","tip":"Use `codex-cli sessions list` to track active sessions and `codex-cli sessions logs --id=[SESSION_ID]` to review past executions."},{"step":"Review the output and errors. If the command fails, use the session logs to debug. For persistent issues, re-run with `--debug` flag.","tip":"Automate error handling by piping the output to a monitoring tool (e.g., Slack notification on failure)."},{"step":"Terminate the session explicitly if needed (e.g., `skill-codex --terminate --id=[SESSION_ID]`).","tip":"Always terminate sessions to free up resources, especially in CI/CD pipelines."}]

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Use skill-codex to execute the following command in Codex CLI: '[COMMAND]'. Ensure the session is properly initialized and terminated. Capture the output and errors for review. If the command requires user input, handle it via [INPUT_METHOD].

Example Output

```
Command Executed: skill-codex --execute "npm run build -- --env=production"

Session ID: ses_7f3a9b2c
Status: Completed
Duration: 2m 15s
Exit Code: 0

Output:
> my-app@1.0.0 build
> react-scripts build --env=production

Compiled successfully in 2m 10s.

Warnings:
- Deprecated API used in component Footer.jsx

Errors:
- None

Session Terminated: ses_7f3a9b2c
```

**Recommendation**: The build completed successfully, but the deprecated API warning should be addressed in the next sprint. The session logs have been saved to `/logs/build_20231115.log` for audit purposes.
