codex-toys

Codex app-server clients, turn automation, toybox tools, and repo-native workspace operations.

This repository is a monorepo. The npm package users should install is codex-toys, which publishes app-server client APIs, turn automation helpers, toybox helpers, the codex-toys CLI, and runnable proxy bins. The full user documentation lives in the Tome docs site under docs/pages.

Documentation Model

The root README is intentionally short. Canonical documentation belongs in the docs site:

• Tutorials teach a first successful workflow.
• Guides cover operational tasks such as turn automation, workspace autonomy, memory transplant, thread transplant, plugin install, optional pack copies, and toybox/proxy operation.
• Reference pages define CLI commands, package exports, and proxy APIs.
• Concepts explain boundaries between app-server clients, turn automation, toyboxes, and product-owned domain completion.

Package READMEs stay npm-focused: install, exports, minimal examples, and links back to the docs site.

Published Packages

The canonical user-facing package is:

• codex-toys

Legacy automation packages have been removed from the monorepo; new automation surface belongs in the core package and plugin-native turn automation.

Release procedure and remote policy are in RELEASE.md. In short: jojo.build is the canonical development remote, Codeberg is a push mirror, and GitHub is used for the npm publishing workflow.
