## Definition

**Codex CLI** refers to OpenAI's **Codex** coding agent as discussed in the captured material: a _cloud-based, delegation-first_ tool where you type a task, press a button, and it lands in a **parallel task list** rather than a chat, running in a locked-down container and producing **reviewable diffs** with deterministic log citations. [^ceebdf5b-d543-5073-becc-f4bfbb1dcabf@382]

In the captured material, the tool under discussion is OpenAI's **Codex** — described as a *cloud-based, delegation-first coding agent*: you type a task, press a button, and it lands in a **parallel task list** rather than a chat. [^ceebdf5b-d543-5073-becc-f4bfbb1dcabf@382]\Codex is built around a **structured task list**, not a chat interface. [^ceebdf5b-d543-5073-becc-f4bfbb1dcabf@382]\\Its model is trained to produce **reviewable diffs** and honest summaries, with **deterministic log citations**. [^ceebdf5b-d543-5073-becc-f4bfbb1dcabf@382]\\It runs in a locked-down **container environment** to keep the agent safe. [^ceebdf5b-d543-5073-becc-f4bfbb1dcabf@382]\\Practitioners use agents like Codex to **delegate whole tasks** while the human focuses on planning, orchestrating, and verifying.
