## Prerequisites

- Codex installed: `npm install -g @openai/codex`
- OpenAI API key configured
- OpenAI auth configured: either `OPENAI_API_KEY` or Codex OAuth credentials
from the Codex CLI login flow
- **Must run inside a git repository** — Codex refuses to run outside one
- Use `pty=true` in terminal calls — Codex is an interactive terminal app

For Hermes itself, `model.provider: openai-codex` uses Hermes-managed Codex
OAuth from `~/.hermes/auth.json` after `hermes auth add openai-codex`. For the
standalone Codex CLI, a valid CLI OAuth session may live under
`~/.codex/auth.json`; do not treat a missing `OPENAI_API_KEY` alone as proof
that Codex auth is missing.
