Recommended Workflow
# 1. Launch interactive Codex session
$ omx --madmax --high

# 2. Use keywords inside Codex for workflows
$deep-interview "clarify the auth change"
$ralplan "approve the implementation plan"
$ralph "carry the plan to completion"
Launch omx --madmax --high

Start the interactive Codex session with recommended settings for trusted environments.

Clarify $deep-interview

Use inside Codex when intent or boundaries are still unclear. Socratic clarification before planning.

Execute $ralph or $team

Choose $ralph for persistent completion loops, or $team for coordinated parallel execution.

v0.18.8

Released: June 1, 2026 — HUD/session ownership is more durable, Autopilot replay and context handling are safer, plugin hook/cache correctness is stricter, Team startup/disablement behavior is clearer, and release/CI evidence is tighter.

Durable HUD Ownership

HUD panes are scoped by leader/source pane, duplicate legacy panes are deduped after prompt revive, deleted-cwd doctor panes are avoided, escaped tmux separators parse correctly, and native session-id drift preserves ownership.

Safer Autopilot Replay

Completed terminal turns no longer reactivate Autopilot, context snapshots are seeded and hardened, task-seed provenance is clearer, and planning phases avoid editing under native session drift.

Stricter Plugin Hooks

Stale plugin hook cache refresh is fixed, setup mode survives update refresh, launcher JSON fallback behavior is preserved, and mirror sync verifies plugin hook metadata.

Clearer Team Runtime

Team mode can be disabled, tmux worktree startup compatibility is fixed, native executor lanes remain leaf-only, and default native subagent routing guidance is corrected.

Tighter Release Evidence

Self-hosted Linux runner selection and GJC evidence lane optimization reduce avoidable CI churn while release readiness records local, e2e, live, pack, and publication gates.

$team — Worktree-First Parallel Execution

The core OMX skill. Since v0.13.1, every team worker runs in an isolated git worktree by default — no flags needed, no merge conflicts, automatic integration.

Automatic Worktree Isolation

Every worker gets a dedicated git worktree at .omx/team/<name>/worktrees/worker-N. No --worktree flag needed — it's the default. Workers write to isolated detached branches; the leader workspace stays clean.

Incremental Merge Tracking

The leader continuously integrates worker commits via merge, cherry-pick, or cross-worker rebase strategies. Conflicts are detected early and reported in integration-report.md. Auto-commit ensures no work is lost.

Mixed-Provider Teams

Run Codex, Claude, and Gemini workers side-by-side with OMX_TEAM_WORKER_CLI_MAP. Each worker gets its own worktree regardless of provider. Full staged pipeline: plan → exec → verify → fix.

$team — Worktree Lifecycle
# Use $team inside Codex (recommended)
$team 3:executor "refactor auth module"
Team started: refactor-auth-module
workers: 3 (worktrees: automatic, detached)

# Advanced: CLI operator surface
omx team 3:executor "refactor auth module"
omx team status refactor-auth-module

# Mixed providers with worktrees
OMX_TEAM_WORKER_CLI_MAP=codex,claude,gemini \
  omx team 3:executor "full-stack implementation"

Features

Everything you need for autonomous software development with OpenAI Codex CLI

Role Prompts

33 specialized prompts via /prompts:name for targeted expertise across implementation, review, domain, and coordination lanes.

Workflow Skills

37 workflow skills and command surfaces via $name syntax for autopilot, team orchestration, planning, recovery, and QA cycles.

Team Orchestration

Isolated parallel execution with automatic git worktrees. Workers get dedicated worktrees by default — zero merge conflicts, automatic commit integration, and incremental merge tracking.

MCP Servers

State, memory, code intelligence, and trace servers (5 total) for persistent context and cross-session learning.

Staged Pipeline

plan → prd → exec → verify → fix lifecycle for structured, evidence-based development workflows.

Launch Profiles

--yolo, --high, --xhigh, --madmax modes for granular control over reasoning effort and execution intensity.

Installation

Get up and running in seconds with npm

Step 1: Install via npm
npm install -g @openai/codex npm install -g oh-my-codex
Step 2: Setup and verify
omx setup && omx doctor
Step 3: Launch and work
omx --madmax --high
