I built a Codex hooks framework that lets Codex extend local workflow behavior from user policy:
The goal is to move beyond one-off hook scripts. User requirements live as policy, hook behavior lives as structured rules, and the framework can sync, explain, smoke-test, render, and install Codex hook
configs.
The intended flow is:
user needs → policy → event rules → deterministic hook runtime → generated Codex hook config
The repo includes a complete handbook, schemas, examples, smoke tests, and CLI commands so the behavior can be inspected, repeated, and extended instead of hidden in ad-hoc scripts.
One important design goal is that Codex itself can read the handbook and use the documented structure to keep developing the framework. In other words, the project is not only a set of hooks, but a
documented workflow substrate that Codex can extend according to user needs.
This is not a sandbox or a replacement for Codex permissions. I’m treating hooks as local workflow guardrails that make Codex easier to adapt to a user’s development habits and safety boundaries.
Sharing here in case it helps others building with Codex hooks or local Codex workflows. Feedback or contributions are welcome, but mainly I wanted to make the framework available.
