Codex Bridge
Call OpenAI's Codex CLI to get responses, reviews, or perform tasks.
When to Use
Activate when user says:
- "Ask Codex...", "Have Codex...", "Let Codex..."
- "Get GPT's opinion on...", "What does OpenAI think..."
- "Get a second opinion on..."
- "Have Codex review...", "Let Codex fix/refactor/implement..."
- "Compare Claude vs Codex...", "Run this through Codex..."
Quick Reference
| Flag | When | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (none) | Opinions, reviews, questions, analysis | node "$CODEX_BRIDGE" "Review this code" --working-dir "<project>" |
--full-auto |
Fix, refactor, implement, update files | node "$CODEX_BRIDGE" "Fix errors" --full-auto --working-dir "<project>" |
--model MODEL |
Override model (default: Codex default) | node "$CODEX_BRIDGE" "Explain" --model gpt-4o --working-dir "<project>" |
--json |
Bridge outputs raw JSON events (debugging) | node "$CODEX_BRIDGE" "Analyze" --json --working-dir "<project>" |
--timeout MS |
Override 20-minute default timeout | node "$CODEX_BRIDGE" "Long task" --timeout 2400000 --working-dir "<project>" |
Setup
# Resolve bridge path (one command):
CODEX_BRIDGE=$(ls -1 "$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/saurun-marketplace/saurun/"*/skills/codex-bridge/codex-bridge.mjs 2>/dev/null | head -1)
CRITICAL: Always pass --working-dir with the project directory. Without it, Codex runs in its install location and can't access project files.
Decision Logic
| Mode | When |
|---|---|
| Read-only (no flags) | Opinion, explanation, review, comparison, questions |
--full-auto |
Modify files. Trigger words: "fix", "refactor", "implement", "update", "change" |
Handling File Reviews
When user wants Codex to review a file:
- Read the file content with the Read tool
- Include content in the prompt to Codex
node "$CODEX_BRIDGE" "Review this document for feasibility, risks, and suggestions:
---
[FILE CONTENT HERE]
---" --working-dir "/path/to/project"
Response Format
For opinions/reviews:
Codex (OpenAI) says: [response]
For comparisons: Provide your own analysis AND Codex's response, noting differences.
For file modifications: After Codex completes, show changes with git diff.
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
Omitting --working-dir |
Codex can't read project files. Always pass it. |
Using --full-auto for reviews |
Read-only is safer for opinions. Only use --full-auto when user wants file changes. |
| Sending huge files as CLI args | Bridge handles this automatically (writes to temp file for prompts >7000 chars). |
| Forgetting prerequisites | Codex CLI must be installed (npm install -g @openai/codex) and authenticated (codex login). |
Error Handling
If the bridge fails (exit code non-zero), check:
- Codex CLI installed:
which codex(install:npm install -g @openai/codex) - Authentication valid:
codex login - Working directory exists and is accessible
- Timeout: increase with
--timeout MS(default: 1,200,000ms / 20 min)
