codex-account-switcher（Codex account switcher 开发）

Codex Account Switcher

Manage multiple OpenAI Codex identities (e.g. personal, family, work) by swapping the authentication token file. Includes smart auto-selection based on quota budget scoring.

⚠️ Sensitive files touched:

• ~/.codex/auth.json
• ~/.codex/accounts/*.json
• ~/.codex/account-activity.jsonl
• ~/.openclaw/agents/*/agent/auth-profiles.json
• ~/.openclaw/agents/*/agent/auth.json

These paths are also declared in metadata.openclaw.requires.config so the registry/security scan can see them in structured metadata.

⚠️ Security model:

• add, save, use, and auto only manage local Codex snapshots by default.
• OpenClaw token propagation is now explicit via sync or --sync.
• Use --agent <name> to limit writes to specific OpenClaw agents.
• Use sync --dry-run to inspect planned writes before changing auth files.

Usage

List Accounts

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py list
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py list --verbose
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py list --json

Add an Account

Interactive wizard — starts a fresh browser login (codex logout && codex login) so you explicitly choose the identity to capture. Press Enter to accept the default name (local-part of the email).

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py add

Switch Account

Instantly swap the active login. Does not sync to OpenClaw unless you ask for it.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py use oliver
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py use oliver --sync
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py use oliver --sync --agent main

Auto-Switch to Best Quota

Probes each account for current quota, scores them, and switches to the best one. Does not sync to OpenClaw unless you ask for it.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py auto
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py auto --json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py auto --sync --agent main

Example output:

Account         7d    5h   Score      7d Resets      5h Resets
──────────── ───── ───── ─────── ────────────── ──────────────
oliver         60%    1%   +12.0   Apr 03 08:08      in 4h 40m ←
elise          62%   75%   +25.3   Apr 03 10:15      in 2h 01m
sylvia         MAX    0%   +51.8   Apr 03 07:51      in 5h 00m

Sync Saved Profiles to OpenClaw

Explicitly push saved account tokens to OpenClaw.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py sync
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py sync oliver sylvia
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py sync --agent main
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/codex-accounts.py sync --agent main --dry-run

Auto Mode — How It Works

1. Quota Probing

For each saved account, auto temporarily switches ~/.codex/auth.json and runs a lightweight codex exec --skip-git-repo-check "reply OK" probe.

It then:

• prefers the exact session file from that probe if it contains valid rate_limits
• falls back to the most recent session file with valid rate_limits (same approach as codex-quota)
• falls back again to the account's cached quota file if no fresh session data is available

This keeps probing simple and robust while still using Codex's session logs as the source of truth for primary/5h and secondary/7d windows.

2. Budget-Based Scoring

The ideal usage pace is 100% spread evenly over 7 days. At any point in the week, the budget is where usage *should* be:

budget = (elapsed_hours / 168) × 100%

The score measures how far ahead or behind budget an account is:

score = (actual_weekly% - budget%) + daily_penalty

• Negative score = under budget (good — has headroom)
• Positive score = over budget (burning too fast)
• Lowest score wins

3. 5-Hour Penalty

The 5h window can block you even with weekly headroom. Penalties prevent picking an account that's about to hit the wall:

4. Example

Three accounts, 5 days into the weekly window:

Oliver wins: most headroom relative to pace, and 5h is clear.

OpenClaw Integration

Token Sync

The sync command, or --sync on selected commands, syncs saved account tokens to OpenClaw agents' auth-profiles.json:

• Profile key format: openai-codex:oliver@drobnik.com (email extracted from JWT)
• Old name-based keys (e.g. openai-codex:oliver) are migrated automatically
• Each profile includes: type, provider, access, refresh, expires, accountId, email
• Also updates each selected agent's auth.json when it already has an openai-codex entry
• --agent <name> narrows the write scope to specific agents
• sync --dry-run shows what would be changed without writing files

This allows OpenClaw to use Codex accounts internally without requiring every local agent to be updated automatically.

Account Activity Log

Every account switch is logged to ~/.codex/account-activity.jsonl:

{"timestamp": 1774878000, "account": "oliver", "user_id": "user-UtCmyIUOTxc4D1OHV1e5Ibew"}

This enables the quota-dashboard skill to attribute Codex Desktop session rate_limit data to the correct account, since session files don't record which user created them.

Setup
