Takopi

🐙 A little helper from Happy Planet, here to make your Codex sessions happier-pi!

A Telegram bot that bridges messages to Codex sessions using non-interactive codex exec and codex exec resume.

Features

• Stateless Resume: No database required—sessions are resumed via resume: <uuid> lines embedded in messages
• Progress Updates: Real-time progress edits showing commands, tools, and elapsed time
• Markdown Rendering: Full Telegram-compatible markdown with entity support
• Concurrency: Handles multiple conversations with per-session serialization
• Token Redaction: Automatically redacts Telegram tokens from logs

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12+
• uv package manager
• Codex CLI on PATH

Installation

# Clone and enter the directory
cd takopi

# Run directly with uv (installs deps automatically)
uv run takopi --help

Configuration

Create ~/.codex/takopi.toml (or ./codex/takopi.toml for a repo-local config):

bot_token = "123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz"
chat_id = 123456789

Key	Description
bot_token	Telegram Bot API token from @BotFather
chat_id	Allowed chat ID (also used for startup notifications)

The bridge only accepts messages where the chat ID equals the sender ID and both match chat_id (i.e., private chat with that user).

Running

uv run takopi

Options

Flag	Default	Description
--final-notify / --no-final-notify	--final-notify	Send final response as new message (vs. edit)
--debug / --no-debug	--no-debug	Enable verbose logging
--cd PATH	cwd	Working directory for Codex
--model NAME	(codex default)	Model to use

Usage

New Conversation

Send any message to your bot. The bridge will:

1. Send a silent progress message
2. Stream events from codex exec
3. Update progress every ~2 seconds
4. Send final response with session ID

Resume a Session

Reply to a bot message (containing resume: <uuid>), or include the resume line in your message:

resume: `019b66fc-64c2-7a71-81cd-081c504cfeb2`

Behavior Notes

• Startup: Pending updates are drained (ignored) on startup
• Progress: Updates are throttled to ~2s intervals, sent silently
• Notifications: Codex's built-in notify is disabled (bridge handles it)
• Filtering: Only accepts messages where chat ID equals sender ID and matches chat_id

Development

See developing.md for architecture details.
