Codex v0.93.0 introduces the ability to use ChatGPT apps directly in the terminal Enable via /experimental command To enable an app you MUST use $<app> which injects MCP tool functions for that session I like this approach, it means I could have 100 apps and dynamically use

This is so useful. Great feature.

Does this mean we can plug in 5.2pro chats directly so codex cli has access to them or Pro has visibility on repos?

Potentially soon Not supported out of box atm

Per session tool injection keeps the surface lean, but memory sharing across apps could become the next friction point

Yes looking forward to that

CLIs will eventually become overloaded.

It’s just not the perfect endgame IMO

agree

dynamic tool loading is how agents should work instead of cramming everything in at once

interesting

Which model do you use the most for coding? Got 5.2 medium ? 5.2 codex medium? 5.2 codex high?

5.2 Codex Extra High

Seems like a round about way to use an mcp server

Its convenience that I see here I imagine more things like memory will be shared too It’s the comings of an ecosystem

cool

Yeah

Hate this fucking shit

The dynamic MCP tool injection via $<app> syntax is elegant - it keeps the base experience lightweight while allowing powerful extensions on demand. This pattern could become the standard for AI coding assistants. Great technical breakdown!

This seems like a response to MCP apps and people finding CLIs to be a better form factor than MCP for many use cases? What is the value prop of the $github app when the github cli has same functionality but less abstraction? Genuinely trying to understand the thinking here
