Use when Codex Desktop sidebar sessions disappear, fail with systemError, or cannot continue after a model_provider switch. Diagnoses and repairs active, non-archived sessions without changing authentication or provider configuration.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Codex Session Restore Use the bundled script first. It is dry-run by default and writes nothing unless `--apply` is present. ## Provider Direction Rule Set `--provider` to the provider that Codex Desktop should recognize now, not automatically to the provider that originally created the sessions. - If the user switched from krill/custom to official OAuth and wants old active sessions to appear under the current official login, use `--provider openai`. - If the user explicitly wants to switch the environment back to krill and make sessions belong to krill, use `--provider krill`. - Do not edit `config.toml`, `auth.json`, or cc-switch's current provider just to restore sidebar visibility. Changing current auth/provider is a separate user request. ## Quick Start Resolve `<skill-dir>` to the directory containing this `SKILL.md`; do not assume a particular global skills installation root. Restore old krill sessions into the current official/OAuth sidebar: ```powershell python "<skill-dir>/scripts/restore_codex_sessions.py" scan --provider openai python "<skill-dir>/scripts/restore_codex_sessions.py" repair-active --provider openai …

How to install
mdr add sidiangongyuan/codex-skills-library/codex-session-restore@sha256:4134188998439e77The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.ef71354, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
