Connect your ChatGPT / Codex account
Vesper Code's public model flow uses your own ChatGPT/Codex account. You sign in to Vesper, then link the account once from the CLI.
Steps
-
Install and start Vesper Code (see Quick Start):
npm install -g vesper-codevesper -
From inside Vesper Code, run:
/connect:chatgpt -
Follow the prompt to authorize. Once linked, Vesper Code uses that account for the orchestrator and its subagents.
What runs on the connected account
The main agent ("Vesper") coordinates the task and calls specialized subagents for file discovery, code search, planning, editing, review, terminal commands, and research. Model access for all of them goes through your connected account.
Troubleshooting
- The connect prompt does not open a browser. Copy the URL it prints and open it manually, then return to the terminal.
- Authorization succeeded but Vesper still says not connected. Restart
vesperso it reloads the session, then run/connect:chatgptagain. - Wrong account linked. Re-run
/connect:chatgptand authorize with the intended account; the latest link wins.
