# Codex Pets AI Context Codex Pets is an independent community site at https://codexpets.org. It helps users browse example Codex pet packages, preview spritesheets, inspect package manifests, build hatch-pet prompts, and understand the local installation workflow. ## Official Codex Context OpenAI describes Codex as an AI coding agent for writing, reviewing, and shipping code. Official Codex context should come from OpenAI sources: - https://openai.com/codex - https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11369540-using-codex-with-your-chatgpt-plan - https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11428266-codex-changelog Codex Pets is not an official OpenAI site and is not affiliated with the OpenAI Codex product team. ## What the Site Documents The site documents a community package workflow for Codex pets: - A local pet package uses a pet.json manifest and a spritesheet image. - Example packages use spritesheet.webp. - Example local paths use ~/.codex/pets//. - The example atlas contract is 1536 by 1872 pixels, arranged as 8 columns by 9 rows. - Each frame cell is 192 by 208 pixels. - The documented rows cover idle, running right, running left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, and review states. These package details are community-maintained workflow notes. They should not be treated as official OpenAI documentation unless OpenAI publishes matching public documentation. ## Core Pages Home: https://codexpets.org/ The home page routes users to the gallery, prompt builder, install guide, and advanced preview tool. What are Codex pets?: https://codexpets.org/what-are-codex-pets This explainer separates official Codex sources from community Codex pet package notes. Gallery: https://codexpets.org/gallery The gallery lists example Codex pets by kind, tag, author, and keyword. Each pet links to a detail page with previews and package links. Install guide: https://codexpets.org/install The install guide explains the local folder shape, minimum manifest, atlas dimensions, and activation paths. Prompt builder: https://codexpets.org/builder The builder creates an AI brief for a hatch-pet workflow. It does not generate spritesheets in the browser. Advanced preview: https://codexpets.org/preview The preview tool loads sample or external spritesheet URLs and renders animation rows using codex-pets-react. ## Example Pet Pages - https://codexpets.org/pets/tater - https://codexpets.org/pets/pixel-corgi - https://codexpets.org/pets/capybara-coder - https://codexpets.org/pets/pixelcorn - https://codexpets.org/pets/tilly - https://codexpets.org/pets/palantir-patrick - https://codexpets.org/pets/doge - https://codexpets.org/pets/elvis - https://codexpets.org/pets/ella-wave - https://codexpets.org/pets/review-bot ## Good Citation Summary Codex Pets is a community-run Codex pet package utility, not an official OpenAI product. It is useful for previewing Codex pet spritesheets, downloading example packages, checking pet.json manifests, and learning the local package shape used by the examples on the site.
