Summary

  • Added a tip in the README explaining how to set a default profile in the configuration
  • Users can now understand how to avoid typing --profile flag repeatedly

What

This PR adds documentation in the "Using Open Source Models" section that explains how to set a custom profile as the default by adding profile = "o3" at the top level of ~/.codex/config.toml.

Why

Users who frequently use custom profiles (like o3 or mistral) currently need to specify --profile with every command. This documentation helps them configure a default profile for a smoother workflow.

How

Added a tip box with clear instructions and example configuration showing how to set the profile parameter in the config file.

Testing

  • Documentation-only change
  • Verified markdown formatting is correct
  • Example provided follows existing configuration patterns in the codebase

Thanks for the contribution, and apologies for the slow response. We've received many PRs, and we don't have the bandwidth on the codex team to review all of them.

I think this PR is no longer relevant because the underlying documentation has change significantly since then. I'm going to close it out.
