Codexplain
Codex explanations suck. Codexplain improves them into clear Claude-like explanations with better UX and Gordon Ramsay-level intolerance for terrible AI output.
Codexplain is a **local-first explanation UX layer for Codex**. It does not replace Codex, change the model, or rewrite strict artifacts. It makes Codex answers easier to scan with TLDRs, width-safe tables, capability diagrams, semantic highlights, progress blocks, and reversible project-local setup.
Codex writes the answer.
Codexplain makes the explanation readable.
JSON, code, diffs, logs, tests, and patches stay exact.
