raycast-codex-reply

Local Raycast extension for one job: reply to Codex from a tiny Raycast form without leaving fullscreen apps like movie playback.

What It Does

This repo turns Raycast into a lightweight human-reply UI for Codex.

• Codex asks for input
• a local hook opens Raycast
• Raycast shows the last Codex message above a reply field
• your answer is saved locally
• a terminal workflow can wait for that answer and continue

Current setup also supports a practical fallback flow:

• save reply
• copy reply to clipboard
• optionally return focus to Warp
• paste and send automatically

Flow

1. A local script writes the current prompt to ~/.codex/raycast-codex-reply/current-prompt.json
2. The script opens Raycast through a deeplink
3. Raycast shows the last Codex message plus a minimal reply form
4. Submit saves reply.json and copies the text to the clipboard
5. A waiting terminal script prints the reply back to stdout

Files

• src/reply-to-codex.tsx: Raycast UI
• src/approve-codex-action.tsx: Raycast UI for single-key approvals
• scripts/request-reply.sh: open Raycast with a prompt
• scripts/wait-for-reply.sh: open Raycast and block until a reply arrives
• scripts/wait-for-approval.sh: open Raycast and wait for a one-key approval reply
• scripts/run-approval-watcher.sh: watch Codex rollouts for approval prompts and send a key to Warp

Install

npm install
npm run dev

Then import the extension in Raycast when the dev tool prompts you.

Use

Open Raycast manually:

./scripts/request-reply.sh "Need your answer here"

Wait in a terminal workflow:

./scripts/wait-for-reply.sh "Need your answer here"

Run the approval watcher:

./scripts/run-approval-watcher.sh

Notes

• The deeplink path assumes local extension owner sebas and extension name raycast-codex-reply
• Adjust the deeplink in scripts/request-reply.sh if Raycast assigns a different owner/name on import
• In Sebas's current local setup, ~/.codex/hooks/notify_macos.sh can use this repo as the human-reply bridge
• The approval watcher is separate from notify; it watches the latest Codex rollout for approval prompts that start with Do you want me to
