AGENTS.mdAGENTS.md is a plain Markdown file of instructions for AI coding agents, a "README for agents", that Codex reads before doing any work. Codex loads a global ~/.codex/AGENTS.md and then every AGENTS.md from the repository root down to the working folder, closest last, up to 32 KiB; /init writes a first one. The open format is now stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation.

CodexCodex is OpenAI's coding agent: it reads a codebase, edits files, runs commands and tests, reviews pull requests and works in the cloud. As of Nov 6, 2026 it lives inside the ChatGPT desktop app, in the Codex CLI, in IDE extensions, in Codex Cloud and on mobile, and every ChatGPT plan includes some of it, Free and Go too.
