What Codex CLI gets on the canvas.
How Starkomand launches Codex CLI and what it can show you about each window.
| Launches as | codex --disable apps |
|---|---|
| Canvas tools | Added with -c mcp_servers.canvas.*Launch-scoped overrides, never written to config.toml. |
| Canvas instructions | -c developer_instructions |
| Window’s back | Every tool step, once you turn it onSettings → Privacy → Agent activity, then trust the hooks once with /hooks. |
| Usage | Plan usage ring in the railOpt in under Settings → Usage meters. |
| Expired sign-in | Restart other windows with ⟳ after signing inCodex cannot resume one session out of several, so Starkomand never resets a window for you. |
Same for every agent. A real terminal signed in as you, diagrams and browser previews beside the window, issue notes you drop onto it, handoffs with a brief to any other agent, a spoken “done” when a turn ends, and persistent windows through Herdr.

Install Codex CLI
Follow the Codex CLI guide. Starkomand finds
codexon yourPATH.Sign in once
Run
codexand choose Sign in with ChatGPT.Open it on the canvas
⌘-click the canvas and pick Codex CLI. Every window you open after that starts signed in.
Worth knowing.
- Tool steps on the window’s back are off until you enable them, because Codex asks you to trust new hooks once.
Questions.
Can I run multiple Codex CLI sessions at once?
Yes. Each window runs its own codex in a real terminal, so open as many as your plan allows, side by side or in separate workspaces, next to any other agent.
Does Starkomand change my Codex CLI configuration?
No. The canvas tools and instructions ride in -c overrides for that launch only; ~/.codex/config.toml and AGENTS.md stay as you wrote them.
Do I need an API key for Codex CLI?
Starkomand never asks for one. Run codex and choose Sign in with ChatGPT. Your plan and usage stay with the provider; Starkomand does not resell tokens.
Next to Codex CLI.
Run any of these in the next window. See all of them side by side.
Bring the agents you already pay for.
Every agent, every feature, free for 3 days. Your CLIs are already installed; the canvas takes a minute.
