# Codex Playbook
`codex` is OpenAI's coding agent CLI. Its distinguishing feature for Skill Heaven is strong
**isolation**: config, session persistence, and the writable filesystem are each independently
suppressible from the command line, so a clean posture composes without mutating anything.
Verified against **codex-cli 0.146.0**. Re-check `codex --version` before trusting any dose
measurement.
> **Rule 0 — run codex in a herdr pane, never through your Bash tool.** The operator must be
> able to see which model and reasoning effort you invoked. A probe the operator could not see is
> not evidence. Use `pane send-text` with a trailing newline **inside** the quotes — **not**
> `pane run`, which splits argv on whitespace and destroys quoted prompts:
>
> ```bash
> herdr pane send-text "$PROBE_PANE" 'codex exec --model gpt-5.6-luna -c model_reasoning_effort=low "probe text"
> '
> herdr pane read "$PROBE_PANE"
> ```
> **Building the door?** Read `packages/core/skills/harness-door-pattern/SKILL.md` first — it
> carries the suppression-mechanism taxonomy, the probe methodology, and the traps. This playbook
> is the harness-specific detail underneath it.

## 1. Non-interactive invocation
```bash
codex exec "your prompt"
codex exec --skip-git-repo-check --ephemeral --sandbox read-only "your prompt"
```
`codex exec` is the non-interactive entrypoint. A prompt can be passed as an argument or piped
on stdin; if both, stdin is appended as a `<stdin>` block.
