AI models are extremely capable, but they suffer from complete amnesia across chat sessions. They forget your project's custom gotchas, repeating the same coding errors over and over, wasting your API budget and your valuable time.
Equipped with .codex-memory/ that holds localized knowledge indexes. The AI agent reads, writes, and updates its memory directly during your coding tasks. If it solves a bug once, it stores the solution and never repeats the error.
A structured research/ archiving directory with search utility scripts (scripts/research-find.py). Build a repository of verified APIs and structures that agents can query in milliseconds.
Prerequisites checked and verified automatically via ./scripts/project-health.sh --auto. Keep your workspace rules, memory syntax, and code guidelines 100% compliant.
codex-starter is designed to be extremely lightweight. For orchestrating professional and agency-scale monorepos:
| LITE (Free) | PRO ($1-5) |
|---|---|
| Standard gpt-5.5 | gpt-5.5 & gpt-5.4-mini |
| No Custom Agents | 3 Custom Agents (governance, benchmark, etc.) |
| No Workflow Skills | 5 Premium Skills (curator, extractor, git-sync, etc.) |
| Simple structure | Status-first Monorepo (active/, staging/, etc.) |
| No DevOps Configuration | Reusable Docker Compose local stack template |
