šŸ’” Feature Proposal: Bulk Codex Workflow Injector (Rust CLI)

Problem

Onboarding Codex across many repos is tedious — you have to manually add .github/workflows/codex.yml to each one. There's no official tool to automate this at scale.

Proposed addition

A small Rust CLI utility that scans every repo under a GitHub user or org and injects the Codex workflow into any that don't already have it.

Key behaviors:

  • Paginates the GitHub API to cover all repos
  • Skips archived repos automatically
  • Idempotent — won't overwrite an existing workflow
  • --dry-run flag to preview changes before committing

Usage:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token
cargo run -- your-username-or-org
cargo run -- your-username-or-org --dry-run

Why it matters

For teams or power users with many repos, this removes the biggest friction point to adopting Codex everywhere. The implementation is already working and battle-tested.

I'm happy to share the full implementation for review, or to iterate on the design in this issue if the team has a preferred approach. I understand contributions are by invitation only and will wait for direction before opening any PR.

Bulk injection makes a lot of sense, especially once adoption moves from "I'm experimenting" to "we want this across many repos."
What we've been noticing is that rollout is usually the easy part - the harder problem
