Feature request: support for custom output formats

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 3, 2026 by SwifAI Closed Apr 3, 2026

It would be great to support JSON, YAML, and CSV output formats for codex exec results.

Currently the output is plaintext only, which makes it hard to integrate into CI pipelines.

Proposed solution:
Add a --format flag: codex exec --format json "prompt"

Use case:
Automated testing pipelines that need structured output.
