Codex users share a playbook for screenshots, Skills, and goal mode
NielsRogge · x · 2026-07-23
A Codex user shares a set of practical workflow tips that have become part of their daily routine.
- AppShots: press both Command keys to capture your screen and send it directly to Codex, which is useful for debugging frontend issues.
- Meta features: ask Codex about other threads, previous chats, or configuration changes, and use goal mode for longer tasks.
- Planning workflow: avoid the built-in plan mode; instead, have Codex write a PLAN.md, then iterate on it with the /grill-me skill.
- Reusable Skills: when a task repeats often, turn it into a Skill with /skill-creator.
- Goal mode: recommended for async, long-running tasks because it tends to produce more thorough results.
