SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick install, Subcommands and Long-running Codex tasks (#7287)
Calls npm

What it does

The agent detects the operating system and shell, writes config.toml with seven named profiles, sets the environment variables and checks that the setup works, so Codex uses OmniRoute as an OpenAI-compatible backend. The Codex config itself keeps wire_api set to responses with the right base_url.

A section on long-running tasks covers two defaults that quietly break sessions lasting hours. Session affinity is off by default, so each turn can reach a different account and lose prompt-cache continuity; its TTL must be set above the expected task length, up to 24 hours. The stream idle timeout is ten minutes by default and force-closes a quiet reasoning turn, so the recipe sets STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS and FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS to 0 and restarts OmniRoute. The shipped defaults stay unchanged, and operators opt in.

When your agent uses it

Pointing the Codex CLI at an OmniRoute gateway on a new machine
Fixing Codex sessions that die after a long quiet reasoning turn
Preparing Codex for overnight or multi-hour work through OmniRoute

Example prompts

“Configure my Codex CLI to use OmniRoute and verify that it works.”
“My overnight Codex run keeps failing with a stream idle timeout, so fix the OmniRoute settings.”
“Set the session affinity TTL for a twelve-hour Codex task.”

Requirements

The OpenAI Codex CLI
A running OmniRoute server

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity → Affinity TTL = 43200 (12h) or 86400 (24h max).
OmniRoute environment
Restart OmniRoute. Leave Codex config.toml as usual (wire_api = "responses", correct base_url).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ad6b1c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Codex CLI OmniRoute Config loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~686

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Step-by-step agent workflow to configure the OpenAI Codex CLI on any machine (Linux, macOS, Windows) to use OmniRoute as an OpenAI-compatible backend. Detects OS and shell, writes config.toml and 7 named profiles, sets environment variables, and verifies the setup.

Quick install

bash

npm install -g omniroute   # or: npx omniroute
omniroute --version

Subcommands

No CLI subcommands mapped for this family yet.

<!-- skill:custom-start -->

Long-running Codex tasks (#7287)

Two OmniRoute defaults silently break multi-hour Codex sessions. Document them whenever configuring Codex for overnight / multi-hour work. Full guide: docs/guides/CODEX-CLI-CONFIGURATION.md → Long-running tasks.

Session affinity (default off)

Setting: sessionAffinityTtlMs (ms; UI shows Affinity TTL (seconds) under Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity). Legacy alias: codexSessionAffinityTtlMs.
Default 0 = disabled. Each turn can land on a different account and break prompt-cache / session continuity.
Codex session keys (x-codex-session-id, x-session-id, x-omniroute-session, body prompt_cache_key / session_id) are only used for pinning when TTL > 0.
Max: 86400 seconds / 86400000 ms (24h). Set TTL above the expected task length (e.g. 43200 s for ~12h).

Stream idle timeout (default 10 minutes)

Env: STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS (default 600000). Also consider FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS (same baseline; 0 disables).
Synthetic SSE heartbeats do not reset the idle clock — only real upstream chunks do.
A quiet reasoning turn past the idle window is force-closed (stream_idle_timeout / StreamIdleTimeoutError). Grep logs for Idle timeout: no data from.

Recommended multi-hour recipe

Dashboard → Settings → Routing → Session affinity → Affinity TTL = 43200 (12h) or 86400 (24h max).
OmniRoute environment:

bash

STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS=0
FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS=0

Restart OmniRoute. Leave Codex config.toml as usual (wire_api = "responses", correct base_url).

Defaults decision

Do not flip ship defaults in code for this skill: sessionAffinityTtlMs stays 0 and STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS stays 600000. Long-running operators must opt in. See Discussion #5718 and issue #7287.
