File format (.codex pet bundle)

Each Codex pet is a folder with two files: spritesheet.webp (8 columns × 9 rows, 192×208 per cell, 9 action states) and pet.json (name/description). This is the official Codex pet sprite contract.

~/.codex/pets/<name>/
├── pet.json
└── spritesheet.webp

How to install after download

Put the pet folder under ~/.codex/pets/<name>/, restart Codex, then pick it under Settings → Appearance → Pets. Every pet detail page also gives a copy-paste one-line install command.
