# Codex Pets AI Context ## Dot Avatar Maker Real prompt results and testing method: https://codexpets.org/dot-avatar-maker/examples. Two preserved text-only generations show the first output's unrequested additions and the refined prompt's closer result. The page provides original images, exact prompts, test date, method, observed limitations and official sources; the editor remains a separate create workflow. https://codexpets.org/dot-avatar-maker is an independent Dot-style avatar editor with original 3D characters rendered locally in the browser. Start with five original looks inspired by OpenAI's public launch showcase, or choose from 26 forms, 12 materials and 34 styles. Tune eight fur properties and copy a matching English or Chinese prompt into your Dot conversation. Attach the transparent 1024-pixel PNG as a reference and review the generated result. The 3D HTML viewer needs internet to load the pinned renderer. The page explains OpenAI Dots using https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/dots and links to official customization guidance. It does not create agents, connect to ChatGPT, update profiles or export installable Codex pet packages. 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//. - Atlas v1 is 1536 by 1872 pixels with 8 columns by 9 action rows; v2 is 1536 by 2288 pixels and adds 2 rows for 16 look directions. - 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. ## Practical Codex Guides The [guide index](https://codexpets.org/guides) covers first setup, longer tasks, review, sign-in recovery and parallel work. Articles state their applicable scope, review date, supporting sources, copyable prompt and completion checks. Read the relevant article before following version-specific instructions. - [Install Codex and set up your first project](https://codexpets.org/guides/install-and-first-project): Choose the desktop app or CLI, sign in, open the right folder, and give Codex a small first task with clear project instructions. - [Recover Codex sign-in without repeatedly reinstalling](https://codexpets.org/guides/recover-codex-sign-in): Check your login method, workspace access, and browser handoff before choosing the next recovery step for Codex desktop or CLI. - [Choose the right Codex setup: desktop or CLI, Mac or Windows](https://codexpets.org/guides/desktop-vs-cli): Choose an interface for your work, understand the platform differences, and separate historical Mac-first launches from current availability. - [Resume a long Codex task without starting over](https://codexpets.org/guides/long-task-handoff): Make a short handoff that preserves the objective, changed files, failed attempts, and the next verifiable step. - [Check Codex work before you call it done](https://codexpets.org/guides/review-codex-work): Use the diff, focused tests, and a real user action to decide what is complete and what still needs attention. - [Ask questions without interrupting a running Codex task](https://codexpets.org/guides/side-chat-without-interrupting): Open a side chat to understand a decision or check progress while Codex keeps working. Learn the entry points, inherited context, and what to bring back to the main task. - [Recover an interrupted Codex task without losing work](https://codexpets.org/guides/interrupted-task-troubleshooting): Preserve the work, identify the failing layer, and recover with a bounded next step instead of repeating the same failed action. - [Keep parallel Codex tasks from colliding](https://codexpets.org/guides/parallel-worktrees): Give independent coding tasks separate worktrees, clear file ownership, and a deliberate integration step. ## Choosing the right source - To choose a pet, start with the gallery and inspect the selected package's current detail page. Catalog entries and availability can change. - To install an existing pet, use the pet installation guide, not the guide for installing Codex itself. Check the manifest, spritesheet path and preview before activating it. - To create a new pet, use the brief builder with an external AI workflow. The site does not generate final artwork. - For sign-in or app behavior, use the scoped practical guide and its current official sources. A historical workaround does not establish an official product fix. ## Site Identity and Contact [About](https://codexpets.org/about) explains the independent community project and how its content is maintained.

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.
