Codex is OpenAI’s open-source terminal coding agent. It reads your codebase, writes code, runs commands, and can use tools — making it a great fit for scaffolding Podium integrations from the command line.

Prerequisites

  • Codex CLI installed:
  • A ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan (authenticates via your OpenAI account)
  • A Podium API key

Instructions File

Create a codex.md (or AGENTS.md) at the root of your project to give Codex persistent context about Podium:

Usage

Start Codex in your project directory:
Then prompt it to build a Podium integration:
“Install the Podium SDK and create an API route that fetches personalized product recommendations for a user and returns them as JSON”
Codex will:
  1. Run npm install @podium-sdk/node-sdk
  2. Create the file with correct imports from the instructions context
  3. Write a function using client.companion.listRecommendations()

Multi-Agent Mode

For complex tasks, use Codex’s experimental multi-agent mode:
This parallelizes the work across multiple agents — one for the search component, one for the filter logic, one for the detail view — all following the SDK patterns from your instructions file.

Environment Setup

Make sure your Podium API key is available as an environment variable:
Or add it to your .env file:
