 "title": "Hand a heavy coding task to Codex after approval",
 "page_title": "How to hand a heavy coding task to Codex after approval with Codexless",
 "summary": "Approve a metered Codex run from Chat, then check progress and steer it until it finishes.",
 "who": "A developer who has a larger coding or refactoring job that genuinely needs the Codex model and wants to stay in ChatGPT while it runs.",
 "problem": "Model-backed work usually means leaving the chat for another app, and it is easy to start metered usage without a clear check.",
 "outcome": "ChatGPT shows a text approval with the task, model information, quota context, and Task ID, then runs the task in the background and returns a Result with evidence.",
 "steps": [
  "Complete the Codexless install and start the HTTP service for your platform.",
  "In Chat, describe the task that needs the Codex model and wait for the text approval showing the task, model information, quota context, and Task ID.",
  "Reply Yes only if you accept the metered Codex call; reply No to cancel.",
  "Ask ChatGPT to check the current task with codex.agent_show to see the latest bounded progress.",
  "When the task reaches a terminal state, read the returned Result with its outcome, verification evidence, remaining blocker, and Task ID."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Codexless repository at https://github.com/liyana31811/Codexless, ask ChatGPT to run <task> through the Codex model after showing the approval with its Task ID. Verify the outcome by reading the final Result and its verification evidence before reporting completion.",
 "agents": [
  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Progress is read on demand through codex.agent_show rather than pushed automatically, and steer only works while the same turn is still active.",

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js 22 or newer",
  "A working local Codex installation (Codex Desktop is optional if a working CLI or runtime is available)",
  "A supported platform: Windows, Apple Silicon macOS (arm64), or Ubuntu Linux (x64) Technical Preview",
  "A ChatGPT plan; Plus and Pro have been verified working",
  "An authenticated Tunnel or remote MCP endpoint, plus a ChatGPT custom app or developer-mode MCP connection, so ChatGPT can reach your local Codexless"
