Why Codex CLI is great (and why this plugin builds on it)
-
No API Key needed. Sign in with ChatGPT. — Signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn what’s included in your ChatGPT plan.
-
Chat history built-in — Codex manages conversation threads and can resume them across sessions.
-
Directory-aware by design — Make summaries, reports, and more for all the notes in your vault. Codex is built to work inside a project folder, so it can reason over files in your vault.
Important notes
- During plugin setup, Redstone downloads the official Codex CLI binary for your system into the plugin directory. File details and release assets: https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/
About AGENTS.md (vault instructions)
This plugin creates an AGENTS.md file in your vault root.
- It contains baseline instructions so Codex understands it’s working inside an Obsidian vault.
- Basically, everything works right out of the box, but you can freely edit
AGENTS.mdto add your own rules and conventions.
Optional: Why you should edit it
Different vaults have different conventions:
- Zettelkasten vs PARA vs project-based vaults
- Frontmatter schemas
- Tagging rules
- Folder structures
- Templates
Add instructions like:
- Where new notes should be created
- How to name files
- What frontmatter fields are required
- What style/format you want for summaries
[!TIP] Treat
AGENTS.mdas your “vault handbook” for AI.
