Codex CLI
Lets you hand coding tasks to OpenAI's agent, which edits and runs code on your computer
What it does
Codex CLI is OpenAI's coding agent that runs locally on your computer. You describe a change in plain words; it inspects the files in your project, makes edits and runs the tools already installed on your machine. You choose the model and how much permission it gets, and you can also call it from scripts. It suits developers and technical makers who work in the terminal.
It is open source and runs on your own computer, so you can see exactly what it changes.
