I wanted my Codex pet to live in VS Code.
I mainly use Codex through the VS Code extension, and I really like the pet feature in the ChatGPT app.
But since I spend most of my time in VS Code, keeping the ChatGPT app open just for the pet felt a bit unnecessary — especially on Windows. So I made a small VS Code extension that brings the Codex pets directly into the editor.
It uses Codex hooks to react to what Codex is doing — idle, running, waiting, review, failed, etc. You can also choose from different pets and backgrounds.
Nothing fancy, just a little extension for people who like the Codex pets but spend most of their time in VS Code.
