# Codex SDK
If you use Codex through the Codex CLI, the IDE extension, or Codex Web, you can also control it programmatically.
Use the SDK when you need to:
- Control Codex as part of your CI/CD pipeline
- Create your own agent that can engage with Codex to perform complex engineering tasks
- Build Codex into your own internal tools and workflows
- Integrate Codex within your own application
## TypeScript library
The TypeScript library provides a way to control Codex from within your application that is more comprehensive and flexible than non-interactive mode.
Use the library server-side; it requires Node.js 18 or later.
### Installation
To get started, install the Codex SDK using `npm`:
```bash
npm install @openai/codex-sdk
```
### Usage
Start a thread with Codex and run it with your prompt.
```ts
const codex = new Codex();
const thread = codex.startThread();
const result = await thread.run(
"Make a plan to diagnose and fix the CI failures"
);
console.log(result);
```
Call `run()` again to continue on the same thread, or resume a past thread by providing a thread ID.
```ts
// running the same thread
const result = await thread.run("Implement the plan");
console.log(result);
// resuming past thread
const threadId = "<thread-id>";
const thread2 = codex.resumeThread(threadId);
const result2 = await thread2.run("Pick up where you left off");
console.log(result2);
```
