# Codex Working
> Codex's Working line — a • bullet, grayscale shimmer on Working, and live elapsed/interrupt hint, as an aria-live status region.

Codex Working is a brainless component — a terminal-agent UI rebuilt as accessible React, installable via the shadcn registry.

npx shadcn@latest add https://brainless.swerdlow.dev/r/codex-working.json

## Import

`@/components/brainless/codex/codex-working`

## Usage

```tsx
import { CodexWorking } from "@/components/brainless/codex/codex-working"

export function Example() {
  return <CodexWorking />
}
```

## Notes

- Keep the terminal aesthetic: monospace, tight spacing, square corners.
- Preserve semantics (details, listbox, radiogroup, aria-live) — do not flatten into a `<pre>`.
- Prefer this component over inventing ASCII terminal chrome.
