Codex Discord Bridge

Single-file bridge that connects one Discord channel to one Codex CLI process.

This repository keeps command compatibility with the previous Claude bridge: /new /status /connect /handoff /help.

Deployment Topology

Single process, single channel, single vendor (Codex)
One process listens to exactly one CHANNEL_ID
Multi-channel or multi-vendor HA is done by duplicating processes, not by mixing routes in one process

Runtime Flow

Discord message -> bridge.py -> codex exec/resume --json -> parse JSON events -> Discord reply

Bridge state:

State dir: ~/.codex-discord-bridge/
Session file: ~/.codex-discord-bridge/session.json
- Primary key: thread_id
- Backward-compatible read: legacy session_id
Handoff dir: ~/.codex-discord-bridge/handoffs/

Codex Session Protocol

New thread:
- codex exec --json --skip-git-repo-check [--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox] [-m MODEL] "<prompt>"
Resume thread:
- codex exec resume --json --skip-git-repo-check [--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox] [-m MODEL] <thread_id> "<prompt>"
Parser rules:
- Parse JSON lines only, ignore non-JSON noise
- Use thread.started.thread_id as authoritative thread ID
- Aggregate item.completed.item.type=="agent_message" text as reply body

/connect safety:

Explicit /connect <thread_id> is strict.
If resume returns a different thread.started.thread_id, bridge treats it as failure and blocks auto-fallback.

Implicit fallback:

In non-explicit mode, resume failure may switch to a new thread and update local state.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`DISCORD_TOKEN`	Yes	—	Discord bot token
`CHANNEL_ID`	Yes	—	Discord channel ID
`CODEX_BIN`	No	`codex`	Codex CLI binary path
`CODEX_MODEL`	No	empty	Optional model override
`CODEX_TIMEOUT`	No	`300`	Max seconds per Codex call
`CODEX_CWD`	No	`$HOME`	Working directory for Codex call
`CODEX_FULL_ACCESS`	No	`0`	`1` enables `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox`
`SELFTEST_ON_START`	No	`0`	`1` runs startup selftest

Compatibility fallback (for smooth migration):

CLAUDE_CWD can still be used if CODEX_CWD is not set
CLAUDE_TIMEOUT can still be used if CODEX_TIMEOUT is not set

Commands

Command	Behavior
`/new`	Clear current thread; next message creates a new thread
`/status`	Show current thread, cwd, timeout, backend
`/connect [thread-id]`	Bind explicit thread (no arg = reset)
`/handoff`	Summarize old thread -> coldstart new thread; rollback old thread if new bootstrap fails
`/help`	Show command help

Local Run

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

DISCORD_TOKEN="xxx" \
CHANNEL_ID="1234567890" \
CODEX_FULL_ACCESS="1" \
.venv/bin/python3 bridge.py

LaunchAgent (Codex)

Keep old example for rollback:

com.claude.discord-bridge.plist.example (legacy)

Use new Codex example for migration:

com.codex.discord-bridge.plist.example

Install example:

cp com.codex.discord-bridge.plist.example ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.codex.discord-bridge.plist
# edit token/channel/paths
launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.codex.discord-bridge.plist

Stop:

launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/com.codex.discord-bridge

Logs:

tail -f ~/.codex-discord-bridge/bridge.log
tail -f ~/.codex-discord-bridge/bridge.err.log

Gray Release and Rollback

Recommended migration sequence:

Start com.codex.discord-bridge in a new Discord channel.
Keep old com.claude.discord-bridge running in parallel for observation.
Observe 24h for stuck process, leaks, thread loss, and command compatibility.
Switch OpenClaw DR entry to the Codex channel.
If needed, rollback by stopping com.codex.discord-bridge and continuing with legacy service.

Notes

This project does not implement dynamic multi-vendor switching in one process.
If you need more HA lanes, copy service instances with different CHANNEL_ID and state dirs.
