What it is

codex-keysmith is a zero-runtime-dependency, single-file Python CLI designed to deploy and manage Codex model_instructions_file configurations in a preview-first, recoverable manner. It supports backups, hook isolation, and layered uninstall, with a focus on a durable journal and manifest-based state tracking.

How it works

  • Default behavior is dry-run; explicit --yes executes writes.
  • Operations affect top-level model_instructions_file across the Codex configuration and pause active hooks unless restored.
  • Uses manifests, journals, and snapshots to enable recoveries (--recover) and uninstall workflows.
  • Provides status (--status) that does not parse hooks content.
  • Custom prompts and language control via --lang.

Getting started

  • Release shown: v0.1.0 with zero-runtime-dependency, single-file Python CLI.
  • Primary commands shown in README examples:
    • python3 codex-instruct-v0.1.0.py --version
    • python3 codex-instruct-v0.1.0.py --codex-dir ~/.codex --dry-run --lang zh-CN
    • python3 codex-instruct-v0.1.0.py --codex-dir ~/.codex --yes --lang zh-CN
  • Example for status:
    • python3 codex-instruct-v0.1.0.py --codex-dir ~/.codex --status --lang zh-CN
  • Recovery and uninstall workflows shown via:
    • python3 codex-instruct-v0.1.0.py --codex-dir ~/.codex --recover --lang zh-CN
    • python3 codex-instruct-v0.1.0.py --codex-dir ~/.codex --uninstall --yes --lang zh-CN

Recent releases

  • Latest: v0.1.0 codex-keysmith (2026-07-16)

Caveats

  • License: MIT
  • Age: created 2026-06-28; last push 2026-07-18
  • The README notes global behavior boundary: deployment changes the top-level model_instructions_file and pauses hooks.json until restored; does not patch binaries or store credentials.
  • Windows experimental handling is described for v0.1.0.
  • The project emphasizes dry-run as default, with explicit --yes for writes, and requires reading built prompts before using --yes.
