The Codex pane

4 min · Everyone · 6 steps

Codex is a coding agent from OpenAI. You describe the task, and it works in the project folder.

  1. 01Add Codex

    Add Codex

    Click New pane and pick Codex from the agents. If Codex is not installed, the pane opens on an install card.

  2. 02Queue while it works

    Queue while it works

    While Codex runs a turn, the field says Queue a message — it sends when the turn ends. Write the next task without waiting.

  3. 03Stop a turn

    Stop a turn

    The Stop button to the right of the field interrupts the current turn. Then you can give a new task.

  4. 04Choose a model

    Choose a model

    The model chip opens cards. The card marked Recommended suits most tasks. Automatic leaves the choice to the agent, and More… shows every model in pane settings.

  5. 05Effort

    Effort

    The chip next to it sets the effort: how much Codex thinks over each step. Higher effort is slower and more careful.

  6. 06Check the changes

    Check the changes

    When Codex is done, click Changes at the top. It shows the Git status of the active pane: which files changed.

Tips

Questions

How is Codex different from Claude Code?

They come from different companies: Codex from OpenAI, Claude Code from Anthropic. In SHIPIT both run in panes with a message field.

What happens to a queued message if I stop the turn?

Check the field after stopping. If the message is still there, send it again.
