Codex in VS Code: Using AI Agents for Reliable Code Workflows

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The official OpenAI ChatGPT extension for Visual Studio Code enables Codex to function as an asynchronous coding agent. Unlike simple autocomplete, this agent can read repositories, modify files, and execute terminal commands. To use it effectively, users must define a clear scope for the task, review all workspace changes and test results before acceptance, and establish a recovery point. This approach ensures the agent performs as intended and prevents unintended modifications to the codebase. AI
