Codex Process Jobs (CPJ) is a free, open-source Codex plugin designed specifically to handle long local builds, tests, benchmarks, inference runs, and code repairs. Developed by Joel Farthing, this developer tool solves a common bottleneck when working with AI coding assistants: waiting for lengthy local processes to finish.

Instead of tying up your active session, CPJ detaches the process, effectively releasing the conversation back to you. It securely records bounded output in the background and automatically reports completion back to Codex for inspection once the job is done. Perfect for developers looking to optimize their productivity and streamline complex local development workflows.
