OpenAI Codex is OpenAI’s agentic coding tool that runs directly in your terminal. It understands your entire codebase, executes multi-step tasks autonomously, and interacts with files, tests, and version control - all through natural language. Powered by OpenAI’s latest models, it is designed for developers who want AI assistance that goes beyond simple code completion and can handle complex, real-world engineering workflows end to end.

Example

You can use Codex with this Astro Stardrive Boilerplate to create super-fast and stable websites purely with AI. Due to the nature of this boilerplate, you do not need to care that much about the technical fundamentals underneath.

Stardrive brings (hopefully) everything Codex needs to understand what to do and what not to forget. Of course, no project is the same and your requirements might differ form others, but this should give you the ideal quick start.

Getting started

Local CLI

1. Navigate to the directory, where you want to place your new project in.
2. Create a new Stardrive boilerplate via npm create stardrive@latest.
3. Start Codex via codex.
4. Tell Codex about your project and let it start - it will find all guidance and information automatically.

Autonomous Agent

Tell your agent to use the Astro Stardrive Boilerplate to build your new project. To prevent any misunderstandings or code injections, be more precise by pointing the agent to the official GitHub repository at https://github.com/peltmonger/stardrive
