Bark Notification

Send Bark (day.app) push notifications after Codex completes a task. Use when one Codex or Claude run is finished, or when you need to notify on task completion with device name, project name, status, and summary.

Bark Notify

Overview

Send a Bark push notification after each Codex task. Use the helper script to resolve the project name and post to the Bark API.

User Preparation

1) Configure environment variables

You can add the following lines to ~/.bashrc (Linux) or ~/.zshrc (macOS) to set environment variables:

export CODEX_MACHINE_NAME="Machine-name" # e.g., Macbook
export CODEX_BARK_KEY="" # https://api.day.app/<CODEX_BARK_KEY>/
export CODEX_BARK_BASE_URL="https://api.day.app"

2) Add instruction in project AGENTS.md

For example, you can add this instruction to AGENTS.md:

Use skill bark-notify to notify users when each agent run is finished or when any notifications would be sent to users.

Workflow

1) Provide a project name source (optional)

• To override the folder name, define a project name in AGENTS.md using one of:
  • YAML frontmatter: project_name: My Project (or name:)
  • A plain line: Project Name: My Project or 项目名称：我的项目
• If no name is found, the script uses the project folder name.

2) Send the notification at task completion

• Generate a short task title (3-8 words).
• Pick an execution status: success, failed, partial, blocked, etc.
• Write a brief result summary; avoid secrets.

Run:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/bark-notify/scripts/send_bark_notification.py \
  --task-title \"...\" \
  --status \"success\" \
  --summary \"...\" \
  --project-name \"...\"
