Codex CLI Reference

Quick reference for Codex CLI commands.

Basic Command

codex exec "[prompt]" -m gpt-5.2 --config model_reasoning_effort="high" --sandbox read-only --ask-for-approval never 2>&1

Common Flags

Flag	Purpose
`exec`	Non-interactive execution mode
`-m gpt-5.2`	Model selection
`--config model_reasoning_effort="high"`	Reasoning effort (minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh)
`--sandbox read-only`	Prevent file modifications
`--sandbox workspace-write`	Allow writes within workspace
`--ask-for-approval never`	Non-interactive mode
`--search`	Enable web search

Session Continuation

# Resume a previous session
codex resume [session-id] "[prompt]" --sandbox read-only --ask-for-approval never 2>&1

Note: Session IDs are returned in Codex output.

Bash Execution Notes

Use dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true for Bash calls
Always append 2>&1 to capture all output
Use timeout of 300000ms (5 min) or longer for complex tasks

Safety Requirements

NEVER use these flags:

--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox - FORBIDDEN
--sandbox danger-full-access - FORBIDDEN

Troubleshooting

Timeout: Complex analysis may take 5-10 minutes. Use longer timeout values.

Authentication: Codex CLI must be authenticated via codex login.

Flag errors: Run codex --help to verify correct flag usage.
