Copy-ready Codex workflows for real office work, plus a curated, source-backed map of Codex-adjacent tools.
CodexWork is independent and unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to OpenAI. Codex and related marks are trademarks of their respective owners.
Pick a workflow, copy the instruction into Codex, then check the output before using it. This repo is built for reviewable work, not blind automation.

Have a workflow that works, a tool worth listing, or a correction to an existing entry?
- Submit a tool.
- Submit a workflow.
- Report a stale entry.
- Suggest a source candidate.
Self-promotion is allowed when it maps to a real workflow, includes source links, states limits, discloses affiliation, and names the human review boundary. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
This is a practical directory and playbook for Codex-powered work:
- Copy-ready workflows and prompts.
- Human review checklists.
- Source-backed tool and MCP entries.
- Contribution paths for workflows, tools, templates, and workspace-native agent apps.
It is not a generic AI tools list, a replacement for official docs, a ranking site, or a place for unsupported product claims.
- WORKFLOWS.md: index of the starter workflows.
- TOOLS.md: curated Codex-adjacent tool directory.
- CHECKLISTS.md: compact review, source, privacy, and approval checks.
- SOURCES.md: source map, freshness policy, and claim boundaries.
- data/catalog.yml: structured catalog used to keep entries consistent.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: contribution standards and self-promotion rules.
Every useful entry should answer:
- Who is this for?
- What work problem does it solve?
- What input does it need?
- What output should Codex or the tool produce?
- What must a human review before trusting it?
- What does the source support, and what does it not support?
