Key takeaways
Drawn from 18 posts
1
Convert webpages, Word files, and PDFs to Markdown with MarkItDown before handing them to Codex, and you'll save quite a few tokens.
2
Starting December, ChatGPT chat and Codex share one quota pool and are billed by token; only Instant quick chat doesn't consume quota.
3
Once a task runs successfully, have Codex organize the steps, judgment criteria, and pitfalls encountered into a Skill, so similar tasks read it first before starting.
4
Align requirements before starting: use Spec Kit to write specs first, or have Codex ask one question at a time until it's 95% confident before proposing a plan.
5
Long-running tasks tend to drag on, so add rules against over-defensive coding in AGENTS.md, along with a reminder every 30 minutes.
6
Use an Obsidian knowledge base as cross-project memory: read it on demand before each task, and each night organize the day's project communication records.
7
Multi-agent pairing: Pi Agent serves as the main Agent dispatching CLIs like Codex, or one AI drafts while another memory-free AI finds errors.
8
Install Skills selectively by scenario: for video creation there's a full set of workflow Skills, and for coding there are popular engineering workflow and frontend aesthetic Skills.
The next edition of Codex Usage Tips starts on Dec 1
