zsh-codex-assistant An on-demand codex session attached to your zsh shell. You can bring it forward any time, shell context is preserved.
How it works Use @ your prompt to hop into Codex anytime. $ # run your commands normally in the shell $ cd ./zsh-codex-assistant $ # prefix your prompts with '@'. first invocation starts a background codex session for this shell $ @ explain this project <codex CLI opens, responds to your request and exits> $ # your shell returns to normal. $ ls session-notify.zsh zsh-codex-assistant.plugin.zsh ... $ @ what was my last request? $ <codex session resumes, your shell command history since the last invocation is put into the context> Motivation I decided to build this because none of the existing tools were quite satisfactory:
I need a persistent harness process, not just an agent in oneshot mode - to preserve shell context and skip the warmup delay I do not want to trust a pile of overcomplicated slop for my root shell (there are plenty of other projects for AI in the shell that suffer from feature bloat) I only need codex support
If you need LLM command generation in-place, check out zsh-ai - it's decent. Install Requires Zsh and an installed, signed-in Codex CLI. Make sure codex works first. Install manually Clone this repository, then add this line to your ~/.zshrc, using the path where you cloned it: source /path/to/zsh-codex-assistant/zsh-codex-assistant.plugin.zsh Open a new terminal to load the plugin. Load it after plugins that customize the Enter key if you have any. With zplug Add this alongside your other zplug declarations in ~/.zshrc, after any plugins that customize the Enter key and before zplug load: zplug "klntsky/zsh-codex-assistant", use:"zsh-codex-assistant.plugin.zsh" Open a new terminal, run zplug install, then open another new terminal to load the plugin. Your ~/.zshrc should already call zplug load after the declarations. If you already cloned this repository and want zplug to use that checkout, register its path instead: zplug "/path/to/zsh-codex-assistant", from:local, use:"zsh-codex-assistant.plugin.zsh" Local checkouts do not need zplug install. Put the declaration before your existing zplug load line, then open a new terminal. Optional settings Add any of these settings to ~/.zshrc: export ZSH_CODEX_ASSISTANT_MODEL="your-model" export ZSH_CODEX_ASSISTANT_PROFILE="your-profile" export ZSH_CODEX_ASSISTANT_INITIAL_PROMPT="Act as a shell assistant"
