Pro tip: use a shared emoji task-title convention to track Codex computer-use sessions across tabs

Dan Shipper shares a Codex computer-use pro-tip: a shared task-title convention so you can see at a glance which tabs computer use is running in.

Convention: [optional 🖥️] [status emoji] [project emoji] [optional effort emoji] Title — ⚠️ for ongoing work, ✅ for complete; put exactly one 🖥️ first during browser/native-app computer use and remove it when that phase ends; shell commands, API calls and web searches don't count as computer use; preserve existing project/effort emojis, don't guess effort levels, and sync shared instructions without bulk-renaming unrelated tasks. Example: 🖥️ ⚠️ 🎬 Edit video.
