Give Codex a clear stopping point: reversible details on its own, ask before publishing or spending
TheMoonMidas · x · 2026-09-13
TheMoonMidas shares a drop-in Codex instruction template: "build the working draft and check it locally; make reasonable choices for reversible details; ask me before publishing or spending money." The idea is to give the agent a clear place to stop — human confirmation reserved for high-stakes actions, everything else autonomous — to avoid constant interruptions.
