Codex workflow tip: draw the flow first, then ask it to implement it

A user describes a very simple way to "graph-max" with Codex and 5.6 Sol: draw the workflow, even on paper, then ask Codex to write a code-mode script that implements it and run it with your inputs.
The point is that the model can translate an explicit diagram into an executable workflow with almost no extra prompting. The attached diagram shows a planner, worker, multiple reviewers, synthesis, and routing logic, reinforcing the workflow-first framing.
