CodiePet is a local plugin for the Codex coding assistant that turns a single clear photo of a person into a small animated avatar pack. Instead of a static icon, the avatar changes its pose depending on what the assistant is doing: idle while chatting, peeking while reading files, loading while running commands, coding while writing or editing, showing an error when something fails, and celebrating when a task finishes successfully. To use it, you open a workspace in the Codex App and ask it to create your CodiePet from a photo. The plugin saves the photo locally, generates a preview character in a simplified cartoon style, waits for you to approve it, then produces six short four frame GIFs, one for each state, along with preview images. Everything it creates, the source photo, the character preview, individual frames, and the final GIFs, stays inside your own project folder under a codie-pet directory. Nothing extra is uploaded by the plugin itself, though the actual image generation is handled by Codex's own image tools, which may call a cloud hosted image model behind the scenes. The project is written in Python and does not need any third party Python packages to run. It can be installed straight from the Codex App by asking it to install the GitHub repository, through a command line marketplace command, or from a local copy for development. There is also a simple removal process, either by asking Codex to remove it or by running an included uninstall script. The current version is deliberately limited. It only works with one clear photo of a single person and does not support group photos, pets, objects, or custom art styles. It does not add a floating desktop character or change the Codex application interface itself. The code is released under the MIT license, so it can be freely used, copied, and modified as long as the copyright notice is kept.
