Welcome to the Codex integration guide. This guide will help you connect ByteRover with the Codex VS Code extension in just a few minutes, giving your AI assistant persistent memory across all your coding sessions.

​
What You’ll Need

  • VS Code with Codex extension installed
  • A ByteRover account

​
Getting Started

​
1. Start the Connection

Go to your ByteRover dashboard and:
  1. Find the “Connect your agent” section
  2. Click on Codex from the list of supported extensions
  3. Hit the big “Connect with Codex” button

​
2. Let ByteRover Do Its Thing

Here’s what happens automatically:
  • ByteRover creates an API key for your account
  • The ByteRover integration connects to your Codex VS Code extension
  • Everything connects behind the scenes

​
3. Say Yes to the Prompts

When VS Code asks:
  • Allow the ByteRover extension to connect
  • Grant permissions when prompted
  • You’ll see a confirmation back in your ByteRover dashboard

​
Check It’s Working

In VS Code, you should see:
  • ByteRover status in the Codex extension
  • Connection status showing “Connected”
Want to test it? Try asking Codex’s AI: 
Save this date formatting function to ByteRover:

function formatDate(date, format = 'YYYY-MM-DD') {
  const year = date.getFullYear();
  const month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
  const day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
  return format
    .replace('YYYY', year)
    .replace('MM', month)
    .replace('DD', day);
}
If it works, you’ll get confirmation that the function was stored.

What’s Next?

Start coding normally in VS Code with Codex. When you solve interesting problems or create reusable patterns, just tell the AI to store them in ByteRover. Over time, you’ll build up a personal knowledge base that makes your AI assistant increasingly helpful.
