Bridges Claude to the OpenAI Codex CLI for code analysis using file references like @src/ or @package.json. Exposes ask-codex for queries with model selection (gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.3-codex), session management for multi-turn conversations, and brainstorm for SCAMPER ideation frameworks. Supports sandbox mode for safe execution, web search for research tasks, and local OSS models via Ollama or LM Studio. The list-sessions tool manages conversation state, while health diagnoses CLI version and feature compatibility. Reach for this when you want Claude to leverage Codex's specialized coding models without leaving your workflow, especially for refactoring sessions or when you need structured OLD/NEW patch output.
