prodex 0.2.128

OpenAI profile pooling and safe auto-rotate for Codex CLI and Claude Code
Documentation

prodex

CI

Run multiple isolated Codex profiles on the same OpenAI account pool, with smart quota checks, clean profile separation, and continuation-aware routing.

prodex helps you manage multiple Codex identities without turning your workflow into a mess.

It is designed around a simple model:

  • One account = one profile
  • Quota is checked before launch
  • Fresh work can move to another ready profile
  • Existing continuations stay with the profile that already owns them

That means you can keep working smoothly across multiple accounts while preserving session continuity where it matters.

Why prodex?

Not everyone wants to pay $200 for a single account.

Sometimes it makes more sense to run 2 or 3 separate $20 accounts you already have. The problem is that doing it manually is annoying fast. You have to log in, log out, switch homes, check quota, and keep track of which session belongs to which account.

prodex exists to remove that pain.

It manages isolated profiles for each account, checks quota before launch, routes fresh work to an available profile, and keeps ongoing continuations attached to the right one.

Less account juggling, less friction, more actual work.

Requirements

Before using prodex, make sure you have:

  • An OpenAI account, plus at least one logged-in Prodex profile
  • Codex CLI, if you want to use prodex
  • Claude Code (claude), if you want to use prodex claude

Installing @christiandoxa/prodex from npm also installs the Codex runtime dependency for you.
Claude Code is still a separate CLI and must already be available on your PATH if you want to use prodex claude.

Install

npm

npm install -g @christiandoxa/prodex

Cargo

cargo install prodex

The npm package version is kept in lockstep with the published crate version.

Update

Check your installed version:

prodex --version

The current local version in this repo is 0.2.128:

npm install -g @christiandoxa/prodex@0.2.128
cargo install prodex --force --version 0.2.128

Dependency status in this repo:

  • The npm runtime dependency is already at the latest published @openai/codex release: 0.118.0
  • cargo update currently produces no Rust lockfile changes on the Rust 1.94.1 compatible graph used by this project
  • generic-array remains pinned transitively by crypto-common, and sha2 0.11 would require a wider RustCrypto compatibility jump than this release

Switching from a Cargo-installed binary to npm?

cargo uninstall prodex
npm install -g @christiandoxa/prodex

Quick Setup

If your shared Codex home already contains a login:

prodex profile import-current main

Or create a profile through the usual login flow:

prodex login
prodex login --device-auth

Want to name the profile first?

prodex profile add second
prodex login --profile second

Check your profile pool and quota status:

prodex profile list
prodex quota --all
prodex info

Run Codex CLI or Claude Code through Prodex:

prodex
prodex exec "review this repo"
prodex claude -- -p "summarize this repo"

prodex without a subcommand is shorthand for prodex run.

Common Workflows

1. Create or import profiles

prodex profile import-current main
prodex profile add second
prodex login --profile second

2. Inspect your pool

prodex profile list
prodex quota --all
prodex info

3. Run Codex with automatic profile selection

prodex
prodex run
prodex exec "review this repo"

4. Resume an existing session on the correct profile

prodex run 019c9e3d-45a0-7ad0-a6ee-b194ac2d44f9

5. Run Claude Code through the same profile pool

prodex claude -- -p "summarize this repo"
prodex claude --profile second -- -p --output-format json "show the latest diff"

Command Reference

Profile & Login

prodex profile list
prodex profile add second
prodex profile import-current main
prodex login
prodex login --profile second
prodex login --device-auth
prodex use --profile main
prodex current
prodex logout --profile main
prodex profile remove second

Run with Codex CLI

prodex
prodex run
prodex run --profile main
prodex exec "review this repo"
prodex run 019c9e3d-45a0-7ad0-a6ee-b194ac2d44f9
printf 'context from stdin' | prodex run exec "summarize this"

Run with Claude Code

prodex claude -- -p "summarize this repo"
prodex claude --profile second -- -p --output-format json "show the latest diff"

Export & Import Profiles

prodex profile export
prodex profile export backup.json
prodex profile export --profile main --profile second backup.json
prodex profile import backup.json

prodex profile export includes each exported profile’s auth.json. By default, it exports every configured profile and asks whether the bundle should be password-protected.

Quota, Status & Debugging

prodex quota --all
prodex quota --all --once
prodex quota --profile main --detail
prodex info
prodex cleanup
prodex doctor
prodex doctor --quota
prodex doctor --runtime

If a runtime session looks stalled, inspect the latest runtime log:

prodex doctor --runtime
tail -n 200 "$(cat /tmp/prodex-runtime-latest.path)"

Use prodex cleanup to remove stale local runtime logs, temporary login homes, dead broker leases and registries, plus old orphaned managed profile homes that are no longer tracked in state.

Notes

  • Managed profiles share persisted Codex state through Prodex-owned shared storage.
  • prodex quota --all refreshes live by default.
  • Use --once if you only want a one-shot snapshot.
