Description

The @theia/ai-codex integrates OpenAI's Codex agent into the Theia platform, providing natural language coding assistance through the chat interface.

Features

  • Natural language coding assistance via OpenAI Codex SDK
  • Thread-based conversation management
  • Streaming responses with real-time updates
  • Token usage tracking and cost monitoring
  • Structured output support (JSON Schema, Zod)
  • Integration with Theia's AI chat infrastructure

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher
  • OpenAI API key (configured via Theia preferences)

Configuration

API Key

Codex requires an OpenAI API key. You can configure it in several ways (in order of priority):

  1. Codex-specific key (highest priority):

    • Preference: ai-features.codex.apiKey
    • Use this if you want a separate API key for Codex
  2. Shared OpenAI key (fallback):

    • Preference: ai-features.openAiOfficial.openAiApiKey
    • Shared with other OpenAI integrations in Theia
  3. Environment variable (final fallback):

    bash
    export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    

Example

If you already use OpenAI features in Theia, Codex will automatically use that API key. No additional configuration needed!
