What is a Codex pet?

A Codex pet is a tiny animated companion that lives in the Codex desktop app. Each package is a folder with pet.json plus a spritesheet — drop it into ~/.codex/pets/ and wake it with /pet.

Why a curated gallery?

Big dumps bury good pets under noise. We surface featured and higher-quality companions first, then popular and newest — so you spend less time scrolling and more time picking one you’ll keep.

How to install

Download both files from a pet page, create ~/.codex/pets/<id>/, copy them in, then refresh Custom Pets under Settings → Appearance → Pets. Full steps on the install guide.
