Getting Started with Codex in the Entire CLI
Blog post from Entire
AI-assisted development, while accelerating experimentation, presents challenges in maintaining a clear relationship between code, commits, and development prompts. Entire, a tool designed to make coding sessions durable engineering artifacts, addresses these issues by integrating Codex with features like Checkpoints tied to Git history and transparent records of prompt-to-code transformations. This integration, demonstrated through a handwriting-to-scrapbook demo, allows developers to track changes effectively by enforcing structured commits and providing tools like "entire explain" and "entire rewind" for understanding and reverting changes. The integration pattern used for Codex mirrors those for other agents like Copilot, with specific adaptations for Codex's unique behaviors. Entire is in technical preview until April 2026, inviting feedback from users to refine its support for agentic workflows.
