Codex Hacker

Temporary terminal palette wrapper for Codex.

codex-hacker starts a Codex session after switching the terminal to a black background with green text and a matching ANSI palette. When the script exits, it asks the terminal to restore the default foreground and background colors.

Status

This is only temporary. It is a small convenience script, not a polished or permanent tool.

Tested on WSL2 Ubuntu.

Requirements

• Bash
• Codex CLI available as codex
• A terminal that supports OSC color escape sequences

Usage

chmod +x codex-hacker
./codex-hacker

Arguments are passed through to Codex:

./codex-hacker --help

Notes

Terminal support varies. If a terminal ignores OSC palette changes, the script may still run Codex but may not change all colors.
