Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex
oh-my-codex (OMX)
Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI. Inspired by oh-my-claudecode.
What is this?
OMX brings 30 specialized agent roles, 39 workflow skills, mode lifecycle management, team orchestration, verification protocols, and notification systems to Codex CLI -- without forking the upstream project.
Architecture
User -> Codex CLI -> AGENTS.md (orchestration brain)
-> ~/.codex/prompts/*.md (30 agent slash commands)
-> ~/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md (39 skills)
-> config.toml (MCP servers, notify hook, features)
-> .omx/ (state, memory, notepad, plans)
Key design decision: OMX is an add-on, not a fork. It uses Codex CLI's native extension points:
| Extension Point | What OMX Uses It For |
|----------------|---------------------|
| AGENTS.md | Orchestration brain (equivalent to CLAUDE.md) |
| ~/.codex/prompts/*.md | 30 agent definitions as slash commands |
| ~/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md | 39 workflow skills |
| config.toml MCP servers | State management + project memory |
| config.toml notify | Post-turn logging and metrics |
| config.toml features | collab (sub-agents), child_agents_md |
Quick Start
Install
npm install -g oh-my-codex
Setup (installs prompts, skills, configures Codex CLI)
omx setup
Verify installation
omx doctor
Start using in Codex CLI
codex
/architect "analyze the auth module"
/autopilot "build a REST API for user management"
/team 3:executor "fix all TypeScript errors"
Setup Details
omx setup performs these steps:
Creates directories (/.codex/prompts/, /.agents/skills/, .omx/state/)
Installs 30 agent prompt files to ~/.codex/prompts/
Installs 39 skill SKILL.md files to ~/.agents/skills/
Updates ~/.codex/config.toml with MCP servers and features
Generates AGENTS.md in the current project root
Configures the notify hook for post-turn logging

MCP Servers
OMX provides two MCP servers that Codex CLI connects to via config.toml:
State Server (omx_state)
Manages mode lifecycle state for all execution modes.
state_read / state_write / state_clear
state_list_active / state_get_status
Supports: autopilot, ralph, ultrawork, ecomode, ultrapilot, team, pipeline, ultraqa, ralplan
Memory Server (omx_memory)
Project memory and session notepad.
project_memory_read / project_memory_write
project_memory_add_note / project_memory_add_directive
notepad_read / notepad_write_priority / notepad_write_working / notepad_write_manual
Team Orchestration
The team skill provides a staged pipeline:
team-plan -> team-prd -> team-exec -> team-verify -> team-fix (loop)
Each stage uses specialized agents. The verify/fix loop is bounded by max attempts to prevent infinite loops. Terminal states: complete, failed, cancelled.
Notification System
Supports three channels (configured in .omx/notifications.json):
Desktop - Native notifications (macOS, Linux, Windows)
Discord - Webhook integration with embedded messages
Telegram - Bot API with Markdown formatting
Verification Protocol
Evidence-backed verification with task sizing:
Small (20 files): Full check + security review + performance assessment + regression testing
Hook Emulation
Codex CLI has limited hook support (AfterAgent, AfterToolUse only). OMX emulates the full hook pipeline:
| OMC Hook | OMX Equivalent | Capability |
|----------|---------------|------------|
| SessionStart | AGENTS.md native loading | Full |
| PreToolUse | AGENTS.md inline guidance | Partial |
| PostToolUse | notify config hook | Partial |
| UserPromptSubmit | AGENTS.md self-detection | Partial |
| SubagentStart/Stop | Codex CLI collab native | Full |
| Stop | notify config | Full |
Coverage
~92% feature parity with oh-my-claudecode (excluding MCP tools).

The Problem
You installed Claude Code. You ran a few prompts. Now what?
The official docs describe features — but don't show you how to combine them. You know slash commands exist, but not how to chain them with hooks, memory, and subagents into a workflow that actually saves hours.
There's no clear learning path. Should you learn MCP before hooks? Skills before subagents? You end up skimming everything and mastering nothing.
Examples are too basic. A "hello world" slash command doesn't help you build a production code review pipeline that uses memory, delegates to specialized agents, and runs security scans automatically.
You're leaving 90% of Claude Code's power on the table — and you don't know what you don't know.
How Claude How To Fixes This
This isn't another feature reference. It's a structured, visual, example-driven guide that teaches you to use every Claude Code feature with real-world templates you can copy into your project today.
| | Official Docs | This Guide |
|--|---------------|------------|
| Format | Reference documentation | Visual tutorials with Mermaid diagrams |
| Depth | Feature descriptions | How it works under the hood |
| Examples | Basic snippets | Production-ready templates you use immediately |
| Structure | Feature-organized | Progressive learning path (beginner to advanced) |
| Onboarding | Self-directed | Guided roadmap with time estimates |
| Self-Assessment | None | Interactive quizzes to find your gaps and build a personalized path |
What you get:
10 tutorial modules covering every Claude Code feature — from slash commands to custom agent teams
Copy-paste configs — slash commands, CLAUDE.md templates, hook scripts, MCP configs, subagent definitions, and full plugin bundles
Mermaid diagrams showing how each feature works internally, so you understand why, not just how
A guided learning path that takes you from beginner to power user in 11-13 hours
Built-in self-assessment — run /self-assessment or /lesson-quiz hooks directly in Claude Code to identify gaps

!WARNING]
This is very much in beta and might be buggy here and there (but hope you have a good experience!).
OpenScreen
OpenScreen is your free, open-source alternative to Screen Studio (sort of).
If you don't want to pay $29/month for Screen Studio but want a much simpler version that does what most people seem to need, making beautiful product demos and walkthroughs, here's a free-to-use app for you. OpenScreen does not offer all Screen Studio features, but covers the basics well!
Screen Studio is an awesome product and this is definitely not a 1:1 clone. OpenScreen is a much simpler take, just the basics for folks who want control and don't want to pay. If you need all the fancy features, your best bet is to support Screen Studio (they really do a great job, haha). But if you just want something free (no gotchas) and open, this project does the job!
OpenScreen is 100% free for personal and commercial use. Use it, modify it, distribute it. (Just be cool 😁 and give a shoutout if you feel like it !)
Core Features
Record specific windows or your whole screen.
Add automatic or manual zooms (adjustable depth levels) and customize their durarion and position.
Record microphone and system audio.
Crop video recordings to hide parts.
Choose between wallpapers, solid colors, gradients or a custom background.
Motion blur for smoother pan and zoom effects.
Add annotations (text, arrows, images).
Trim sections of the clip.
Customize the speed of different segments.
Export in different aspect ratios and resolutions.
Installation
Download the latest installer for your platform from the [GitHub Releases page.
macOS
If you encounter issues with macOS Gatekeeper blocking the app (since it does not come with a developer certificate), you can bypass this by running the following command in your terminal after installation:
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Openscreen.app
Note: Give your terminal Full Disk Access in System Settings > Privacy & Security to grant you access and then run the above command.
After running this command, proceed to System Preferences > Security & Privacy to grant the necessary permissions for "screen recording" and "accessibility". Once permissions are granted, you can launch the app.
Linux
Download the .AppImage file from the releases page. Make it executable and run:
chmod +x Openscreen-Linux-*.AppImage
./Openscreen-Linux-*.AppImage
You may need to grant screen recording permissions depending on your desktop environment.
Note: If the app fails to launch due to a "sandbox" error, run it with --no-sandbox:
./Openscreen-Linux-*.AppImage --no-sandbox
Limitations
System audio capture relies on Electron's desktopCapturer and has some platform-specific quirks:
macOS: Requires macOS 13+. On macOS 14.2+ you'll be prompted to grant audio capture permission. macOS 12 and below does not support system audio (mic still works).
Windows: Works out of the box.
Linux: Needs PipeWire (default on Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 34+). Older PulseAudio-only setups may not support system audio (mic should still work).

Support Us
!NOTE]
☝️ I'm currently looking for a job! Particularly interested in companies in Berlin or remote positions in Germany. Here's [my CV and Linkedin profile. Thank you 🙏
TaxHacker is a self-hosted accounting app designed for freelancers, indie-hackers, and small businesses who want to save time and automate expense and income tracking using the power of modern AI.
Upload photos of receipts, invoices, or PDFs, and TaxHacker will automatically recognize and extract all the important data you need for accounting: product names, amounts, items, dates, merchants, taxes, and save it into a structured Excel-like database. You can even create custom fields with your own AI prompts to extract any specific information you need.
The app features automatic currency conversion (including crypto!) based on historical exchange rates from the transaction date. With built-in filtering, multi-project support, import/export capabilities, and custom categories, TaxHacker simplifies reporting and makes tax filing a bit easier.

| Apr 2026 · W2 | 1 | Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex oh-my-codex (OMX)
Multi-agent orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex CLI. Inspired by oh-my-claudecode.
What is this?
OMX brings 30 specialized agent roles, 39 workflow skills, mode lifecycle management, team orchestration, verification protocols, and notification systems to Codex CLI -- without forking the upstream project.
Architecture
User -> Codex CLI -> AGENTS.md (orchestration brain)
-> ~/.codex/prompts/*.md (30 agent slash commands)
-> ~/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md (39 skills)
-> config.toml (MCP servers, notify hook, features)
-> .omx/ (state, memory, notepad, plans)
Key design decision: OMX is an add-on, not a fork. It uses Codex CLI's native extension points:
| Extension Point | What OMX Uses It For |
|----------------|---------------------|
| AGENTS.md | Orchestration brain (equivalent to CLAUDE.md) |
| ~/.codex/prompts/*.md | 30 agent definitions as slash commands |
| ~/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md | 39 workflow skills |
| config.toml MCP servers | State management + project memory |
| config.toml notify | Post-turn logging and metrics |
| config.toml features | collab (sub-agents), child_agents_md |
Quick Start
Install
npm install -g oh-my-codex
Setup (installs prompts, skills, configures Codex CLI)
omx setup
Verify installation
omx doctor
Start using in Codex CLI
codex
/architect "analyze the auth module"
/autopilot "build a REST API for user management"
/team 3:executor "fix all TypeScript errors"
Setup Details
omx setup performs these steps:
Creates directories (/.codex/prompts/, /.agents/skills/, .omx/state/)
Installs 30 agent prompt files to ~/.codex/prompts/
Installs 39 skill SKILL.md files to ~/.agents/skills/
Updates ~/.codex/config.toml with MCP servers and features
Generates AGENTS.md in the current project root
Configures the notify hook for post-turn logging

MCP Servers
OMX provides two MCP servers that Codex CLI connects to via config.toml:
State Server (omx_state)
Manages mode lifecycle state for all execution modes.
state_read / state_write / state_clear
state_list_active / state_get_status
Supports: autopilot, ralph, ultrawork, ecomode, ultrapilot, team, pipeline, ultraqa, ralplan
Memory Server (omx_memory)
Project memory and session notepad.
project_memory_read / project_memory_write
project_memory_add_note / project_memory_add_directive
notepad_read / notepad_write_priority / notepad_write_working / notepad_write_manual
Team Orchestration
The team skill provides a staged pipeline:
team-plan -> team-prd -> team-exec -> team-verify -> team-fix (loop)
Each stage uses specialized agents. The verify/fix loop is bounded by max attempts to prevent infinite loops. Terminal states: complete, failed, cancelled.
Notification System
Supports three channels (configured in .omx/notifications.json):
Desktop - Native notifications (macOS, Linux, Windows)
Discord - Webhook integration with embedded messages
Telegram - Bot API with Markdown formatting
Verification Protocol
Evidence-backed verification with task sizing:
Small (20 files): Full check + security review + performance assessment + regression testing
Hook Emulation
Codex CLI has limited hook support (AfterAgent, AfterToolUse only). OMX emulates the full hook pipeline:
| OMC Hook | OMX Equivalent | Capability |
|----------|---------------|------------|
| SessionStart | AGENTS.md native loading | Full |
| PreToolUse | AGENTS.md inline guidance | Partial |
| PostToolUse | notify config hook | Partial |
| UserPromptSubmit | AGENTS.md self-detection | Partial |
| SubagentStart/Stop | Codex CLI collab native | Full |
| Stop | notify config | Full |
Coverage
~92% feature parity with oh-my-claudecode (excluding MCP tools).

The Problem
You installed Claude Code. You ran a few prompts. Now what?
The official docs describe features — but don't show you how to combine them. You know slash commands exist, but not how to chain them with hooks, memory, and subagents into a workflow that actually saves hours.
There's no clear learning path. Should you learn MCP before hooks? Skills before subagents? You end up skimming everything and mastering nothing.
Examples are too basic. A "hello world" slash command doesn't help you build a production code review pipeline that uses memory, delegates to specialized agents, and runs security scans automatically.
You're leaving 90% of Claude Code's power on the table — and you don't know what you don't know.
How Claude How To Fixes This
This isn't another feature reference. It's a structured, visual, example-driven guide that teaches you to use every Claude Code feature with real-world templates you can copy into your project today.
| | Official Docs | This Guide |
|--|---------------|------------|
| Format | Reference documentation | Visual tutorials with Mermaid diagrams |
| Depth | Feature descriptions | How it works under the hood |
| Examples | Basic snippets | Production-ready templates you use immediately |
| Structure | Feature-organized | Progressive learning path (beginner to advanced) |
| Onboarding | Self-directed | Guided roadmap with time estimates |
| Self-Assessment | None | Interactive quizzes to find your gaps and build a personalized path |
What you get:
10 tutorial modules covering every Claude Code feature — from slash commands to custom agent teams
Copy-paste configs — slash commands, CLAUDE.md templates, hook scripts, MCP configs, subagent definitions, and full plugin bundles
Mermaid diagrams showing how each feature works internally, so you understand why, not just how
A guided learning path that takes you from beginner to power user in 11-13 hours
Built-in self-assessment — run /self-assessment or /lesson-quiz hooks directly in Claude Code to identify gaps
Start the Learning Path ->
How It Works
1. Find your level

| Apr 2026 · W2 | 4 | siddharthvaddem/openscreen !WARNING]
This is very much in beta and might be buggy here and there (but hope you have a good experience!).
OpenScreen
OpenScreen is your free, open-source alternative to Screen Studio (sort of).
If you don't want to pay $29/month for Screen Studio but want a much simpler version that does what most people seem to need, making beautiful product demos and walkthroughs, here's a free-to-use app for you. OpenScreen does not offer all Screen Studio features, but covers the basics well!
Screen Studio is an awesome product and this is definitely not a 1:1 clone. OpenScreen is a much simpler take, just the basics for folks who want control and don't want to pay. If you need all the fancy features, your best bet is to support Screen Studio (they really do a great job, haha). But if you just want something free (no gotchas) and open, this project does the job!
OpenScreen is 100% free for personal and commercial use. Use it, modify it, distribute it. (Just be cool 😁 and give a shoutout if you feel like it !)
Core Features
Record specific windows or your whole screen.
Add automatic or manual zooms (adjustable depth levels) and customize their durarion and position.
Record microphone and system audio.
Crop video recordings to hide parts.
Choose between wallpapers, solid colors, gradients or a custom background.
Motion blur for smoother pan and zoom effects.
Add annotations (text, arrows, images).
Trim sections of the clip.
Customize the speed of different segments.
Export in different aspect ratios and resolutions.
Installation
Download the latest installer for your platform from the [GitHub Releases page.
macOS
If you encounter issues with macOS Gatekeeper blocking the app (since it does not come with a developer certificate), you can bypass this by running the following command in your terminal after installation:
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Openscreen.app
Note: Give your terminal Full Disk Access in System Settings > Privacy & Security to grant you access and then run the above command.
After running this command, proceed to System Preferences > Security & Privacy to grant the necessary permissions for "screen recording" and "accessibility". Once permissions are granted, you can launch the app.
Linux
Download the .AppImage file from the releases page. Make it executable and run:
chmod +x Openscreen-Linux-*.AppImage
./Openscreen-Linux-*.AppImage
You may need to grant screen recording permissions depending on your desktop environment.
Note: If the app fails to launch due to a "sandbox" error, run it with --no-sandbox:
./Openscreen-Linux-*.AppImage --no-sandbox
Limitations
System audio capture relies on Electron's desktopCapturer and has some platform-specific quirks:
macOS: Requires macOS 13+. On macOS 14.2+ you'll be prompted to grant audio capture permission. macOS 12 and below does not support system audio (mic still works).
Windows: Works out of the box.
Linux: Needs PipeWire (default on Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 34+). Older PulseAudio-only setups may not support system audio (mic should still work).

TaxHacker is a self-hosted accounting app designed for freelancers, indie-hackers, and small businesses who want to save time and automate expense and income tracking using the power of modern AI.
Upload photos of receipts, invoices, or PDFs, and TaxHacker will automatically recognize and extract all the important data you need for accounting: product names, amounts, items, dates, merchants, taxes, and save it into a structured Excel-like database. You can even create custom fields with your own AI prompts to extract any specific information you need.
The app features automatic currency conversion (including crypto!) based on historical exchange rates from the transaction date. With built-in filtering, multi-project support, import/export capabilities, and custom categories, TaxHacker simplifies reporting and makes tax filing a bit easier.
