Last Friday I wrote here about consensus-loop, the agent loop we built and open-sourced that doesn't just suggest code but actually writes it, has agents review it, and merges its own PRs (that post is here). A few people asked what we actually point it at day to day. So here's the experiment I keep coming back to: we aimed the same loop at a fork of the codex CLI and let it fix codex. codex fixing codex.
This is the version with the repo links, so you can decide for yourself whether it's real instead of taking my word for it.
The setup: take a public fork of the open-source codex CLI, and point our own consensus loop at it. The loop's job is to close small upstream bugs in that fork end to end, with no one typing the patch. The whole thing is dogfood. The fork has zero stars, zero forks, no outside users. I'm saying that up front so the rest reads as "here's a mechanism," not "here's a product."
The repo is public: github.com/ChronoAIProject/codex. It's a fork of openai/codex. Nothing below requires you to trust me; every claim is a clickable issue or PR.
And if you'd rather watch than read, we've been livestreaming the loop running this end to end: the stream is here.
