animus-provider-codex

An OpenAI Codex CLI provider plugin for Animus.

Status: Under construction — landing in Animus v0.4.x. This crate currently lives in the Animus core workspace at crates/animus-provider-codex/; v0.4.x extracts it to this standalone repository.

What this is

Animus v0.4.0 makes providers (LLM CLI wrappers) pluggable. This repository will ship animus-provider-codex, a stdio plugin that wraps OpenAI's Codex CLI as an Animus provider. Any workflow phase that targets tool: codex dispatches through this plugin.

Install (planned)

animus plugin install animus-provider-codex

The Animus daemon image bundles this plugin pre-installed.
