slopmodcodex

slopmodcodex is a small reset-based continuity patcher for @openai/codex.

It replaces summary-style compaction with reset-style continuity so long chats can clear live context and recover continuity from an Obsidian-style graph instead of stuffing an ever-growing summary capsule back into the model.

What It Does

• auto-compaction resets live history instead of summarizing it
• /compact follows the same reset flow
• continuity is written under ~/.codex/obsidian_graph
• stock restores the original Codex binary when a safe backup exists, or repairs Codex from the official npm package if it does not, then removes the managed config block

Install

Codex must already be installed:

npm install -g @openai/codex
npm install -g slopmodcodex

Package install patches Codex automatically. The explicit helper commands are only for repatching, restoring stock behavior, and inspection:

slopmodcodex patch
slopmodcodex stock
slopmodcodex status

The installed package does not build Codex from source. It only does this:

1. find a matching patched binary
2. back up the current Codex binary once
3. swap in the patched binary
4. write the managed config block

Patched binaries are resolved in this order:

1. bundled artifact in the package
2. cached artifact under ~/.slopex/artifacts
3. matching GitHub release asset for the current package version

Maintainers

Release artifact builds are kept out of the shipped runtime. If you are working in the repo itself, use:

npm run build-release-artifact

The GitHub Actions release workflow can call that script and publish the resulting artifact without making normal installs compile Codex locally.
