Team Config for shared configuration

Jan 23, 2026
OpenAI/Codex CLICLI

Team Config groups the files teams use to standardize Codex across repositories and machines. Use it to share:

  • config.toml defaults
  • rules/ for command controls outside the sandbox
  • skills/ for reusable workflows

Codex loads these layers from .codex/ folders in the current working directory, parent folders, and the repo root, plus user (~/.codex/) and system (/etc/codex/) locations. Higher-precedence locations override lower-precedence ones.

Admins can still enforce constraints with requirements.toml, which overrides defaults regardless of location.
