description: Configure your preferred package manager (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun) disable-model-invocation: true

Package Manager Setup

Native Subagent Protocol (Codex)

Codex supports native subagents. Delegate with spawn_agent, coordinate with send_input, collect via wait_agent, and clean up with close_agent.

Execution preference:

1. Use native subagents first for independent workstreams (parallel when possible).
2. Merge results in main thread and run final verification.
3. Fallback only when delegation is blocked: use the [ANALYST]/[ARCHITECT]/[EXECUTOR]/[REVIEWER] structure in a single response.

Minimal orchestration pattern:

spawn_agent -> send_input (optional) -> wait_agent -> close_agent

Configure your preferred package manager for this project or globally.

Usage

If scripts/setup-package-manager.js exists in the repo, use it. Otherwise, configure manually via the files below.

# Detect current package manager
node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --detect

# Set global preference
node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --global pnpm

# Set project preference
node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --project bun

# List available package managers
node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --list

Detection Priority

When determining which package manager to use, the following order is checked:

1. Environment variable: CODEX_PACKAGE_MANAGER
2. Project config: .codex/package-manager.json
3. package.json: packageManager field
4. Lock file: Presence of package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, or bun.lockb
5. Global config: ~/.codex/package-manager.json
6. Fallback: First available package manager (pnpm > bun > yarn > npm)

Configuration Files

Global Configuration

// ~/.codex/package-manager.json
{
  "packageManager": "pnpm"
}

Project Configuration

// .codex/package-manager.json
{
  "packageManager": "bun"
}

package.json

{
  "packageManager": "pnpm@8.6.0"
}

Environment Variable

Set CODEX_PACKAGE_MANAGER to override all other detection methods:

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:CODEX_PACKAGE_MANAGER = "pnpm"

# macOS/Linux
export CODEX_PACKAGE_MANAGER=pnpm

Run the Detection

To see current package manager detection results, run:

node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --detect
