Codex Process Jobs
Codex Plugin: Durable detached local process jobs for Codex
A free, open-source Codex plugin for long local builds, tests, benchmarks, inference runs, and repairs. CPJ detaches the process, releases the conversation, records bounded output, and returns completion to Codex for inspection.
Codex Process Jobs is a boring, free, open-source plugin that exists to have the Codex agent detach from long-running processes instead of polling them and holding the turn. This is more like the default behavior in Claude Code. Token usage is approximately neutral unless you opt for the `--report` completion mode, in which case it can be lower than standard behavior. I'm looking for feedback and testing, especially in real-world and edge cases.
CPJ relies on user-enabled hooks and bundled skills to force Codex to detach processes likely to take longer than a minute to background, then wakes the agent when the job is finished, along with a report. Live completion works in Codex App and the VS Code extension. CLI/TUI defaults to a best-effort desktop notification and surfaces completion on the next eligible turn, but it cannot render a live inserted completion turn.
Interesting approach detaching long inference runs from the Codex conversation loop — do the detached jobs still route through whatever endpoint Codex is configured against (e.g. a custom base URL), or do you shell out separately? Curious how you handle bounded output when a run streams a lot of tokens.
the bounded output logs are a lifesaver on long builds, would love a per-job rerun button right in the completion card so i can re-trigger a failed benchmark without digging through job history
Finally something for those long compile runs that don't need my whole context held hostage. Detaching the process and just letting Codex check back in when it's done is honestly the kind of obvious-in-hindsight thing I wish existed sooner.
