# Test TUI

Test TUI guides interactive use of Codex TUI to verify changes. It covers startup flags, logging, and how to send test messages for reliable debugging.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/deonmenezes/mantishack/tree/main/.codex/skills/test-tui ~/.claude/skills/test-tui
```

## README

You can start and use Codex TUI to verify changes. 

Important notes:

Start interactively.
Always set RUST_LOG="trace" when starting the process.
Pass `-c log_dir=<some_temp_dir>` argument to have logs written to a specific directory to help with debugging.
When sending a test message programmatically, send text first, then send Enter in a separate write (do not send text + Enter in one burst).
Use `just codex` target to run - `just codex -c ...`
