Before you install.

Where does a Codex pet install?

Native packages go to ~/.codex/pets/, or $CODEX_HOME/pets/ when that environment variable is configured.

How do I activate it?

In the desktop app, refresh Settings → Pets and choose the pet. In an interactive Codex CLI session, enter /pets or /pet.

Does the Codex IDE extension show pets?

No. The IDE extension does not currently provide a pet picker or floating overlay. Use ChatGPT desktop or a supported Codex CLI terminal.
