Turn your files into a memory filesystem for AI agents.
- Agent scans local files:

Example question
What have I been working on in the past 3 months?
ls ~/.codex/user_context/2026_.../Example answer
You have been converging on agentic infrastructure: memory systems, context retrieval, and public-facing artifacts.
Setup
Initialize by running:
codex exec --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox --ephemeral - < Init.md
Enable automatic daily updates with:
REPO_DIR="$(pwd)" && codex exec --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox --ephemeral "Install a daily scheduler for: cd \"$REPO_DIR\" && codex exec --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox --ephemeral - < Update.md. Use cron by default; otherwise use the host scheduler. Do not create wrapper scripts. Verify codex is on PATH, Update.md exists, and the installed scheduler entry is readable. Do not run Update.md during validation."
