Codex Needs Sub-threads to Communicate with Main Thread
dejavucoder · x · 2026-07-13
The author presents a "very non-technical" feature request for Codex: they want side task threads to be able to communicate with the main thread within the app.
While this brief post lacks implementation details, it highlights a very specific agent workflow issue:
- How to coordinate between main tasks and parallel sub-tasks;
- How results from sub-threads flow back to the main thread;
- Whether this interaction is already supported and, if so, how to use it.
This is more about distilling key interaction requirements for coding agent products rather than just casual chatter.
