This is a curated directory of Codex-adjacent resources for reviewable office work. Entries are grouped by work use, not ranked.
Each entry should have a public source, a real work problem, a review boundary, and a stated limit. See data/catalog.yml for the structured catalog.
Official resources are the default route for learning Codex behavior. Recheck the source before relying on product availability, access, pricing, or model details.
| Entry | What it helps with | Review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI Codex docs | Understand Codex surfaces, configuration, workflows, MCP, skills, and plugins | Treat docs as authoritative for OpenAI product behavior, but recheck volatile pages |
| Codex for Work Academy | Learn official work-use examples and framing | Do not infer support for every office workflow |
| openai/codex | Inspect the open-source Codex CLI repository | Repository status and releases can change |
| openai/skills | Browse reusable Codex skills | Skill fit depends on the specific task and review process |
MCP and connector entries belong here when they help Codex-style agents reach a work system or source. Prefer read-only use until the review and permission boundary is clear.
| Entry | What it helps with | Review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Codex MCP docs | Configure MCP servers for Codex | Recheck current config behavior before editing local setup |
| Model Context Protocol docs | Understand MCP as a connector pattern | MCP support differs by client and server |
| github/github-mcp-server | Connect agents to GitHub repositories, issues, and pull requests | Confirm repo permissions and write capabilities before use |
| microsoft/playwright-mcp | Give agents browser automation through Playwright | Browser automation can expose or change sensitive web state |
| ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp | Inspect and debug browser pages through Chrome DevTools | Developer debugging context may include private page data |
| upstash/context7 | Retrieve current developer documentation through MCP | Verify retrieved docs against primary sources for critical work |
This category covers apps and patterns that run close to existing work surfaces. Keep the language soft and independent; do not imply a category is official unless the source says so.
| Entry | What it helps with | Review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace agents in ChatGPT | Understand OpenAI's workspace-agent direction and examples | Do not overstate availability beyond the source |
| OpenAI Apps SDK | Build apps that extend ChatGPT with tools and UI | App behavior, submission, and platform rules are source-sensitive |
Use this section for tools that help create, inspect, transform, or review office work products. Listings must say what source material the tool uses and what a human should review.
| Entry | What it helps with | Review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| openai/skills | Reusable Codex task bundles, including document-like workflows when a skill exists | A skill still needs input review, output review, and source boundaries |
| Workflow starter set | Copy-ready prompts for briefs, notes, memos, spreadsheets, decks, and specs | These are templates, not guarantees |
These entries help make Codex output easier to verify. They are not substitutes for human judgment.
| Entry | What it helps with | Review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| CHECKLISTS.md | Human review, source traceability, MCP privacy, and approval checks | Adapt to your team's risk and policy context |
| github/github-mcp-server | Keep code and issue work connected to source records | Confirm permissions before write-capable use |
| upstash/context7 | Pull current docs into agent workflows | Recheck important facts against the source doc |
Framework entries belong here when they help someone build Codex-adjacent tools, agents, workflows, or review loops.
| Entry | What it helps with | Review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI Agents SDK docs | Understand OpenAI's agent-building framework | Implementation details change; recheck docs |
| openai/openai-agents-js | Build JavaScript or TypeScript agents | Review releases, examples, and security posture before adoption |
| openai/openai-agents-python | Build Python agents | Review releases, examples, and security posture before adoption |
| openai/openai-cookbook | Find examples and implementation patterns | Examples are starting points, not production guarantees |
Use the tool submission form or open a PR. A useful tool submission includes:
- the real work problem it solves
- source URL
- Codex relationship
- output it helps produce
- human review boundary
- limits and access notes
- submitter affiliation
