Using Codex goals well can truly unleash the potential of the GPT 5 model!

OpenAI's recently disclosed directions for Codex are obviously going in the following directions: - Long tasks - Asynchronous delegation - Multi-agent - Continuous guidance in the middle - Continuous advancement in the background.

Codex's latest feature, goals, is the culmination of these features.

Upgrade Codex to the latest version and tell codex to enable the goals feature.

After enabling it, log in again and you can create a goal long task through /goal.

You can try the following goals templates, you will be pleasantly surprised!

================= 🍏🍏🍏 Template 1: Code project advancement /goal Advance the current code project to a deliverable and verifiable state.

Prioritize opening up the core functional links, and then handle the necessary experience, testing and document finishing.

Context: This is a code project in continuous iteration.

Please understand the current code structure, existing implementation, testing methods and local change status before deciding on the advancement sequence.

Constraints: - Do not overwrite, roll back or delete my existing local changes unless I explicitly ask - Do not destroy the existing visual style, directory structure and technology selection - Do not introduce unnecessary new dependencies - Do not do large-scale refactoring that is not related to the current goal - Prioritize the existing patterns, components, tools and naming styles of the project Acceptance criteria: - Core functional links can run and be verified - Relevant tests, lint, typecheck or build commands have been run as much as possible - If verification commands cannot be run, an explanation is required Reason - Necessary documents, comments or configurations have been updated - Final description of completed content, verification results, remaining risks and recommended follow-up matters.

How to advance: - Check the current status of the project and the status of the git workspace first - Disassemble the tasks yourself and advance according to priority - Prioritize solving the problems that block the core link - Judge the general implementation details by yourself, do not ask me frequently - Synchronize the current status after completing a key stage - Try to do repeatable verification after each important change.

You must pause to ask me about the situation: - Need to repeat Construct the core architecture - need to delete a lot of old logic or migrate the directory structure - need to add new databases, external services, payment capabilities or heavy dependencies - there are multiple reasonable solutions, and the consequences are obviously different - the goal is unclear, continuing to advance may cause rework ================= 🍏🍏🍏 Template 2: Article/Research Task/goal Produce a publishable in-depth draft, which requires clear opinions, reliable facts, complete structure, and reasonable layout of graphics and text.

Context: This is a technical analysis draft for public accounts, knowledge bases or public release channels.

It is necessary to take into account dissemination, professionalism and factual rigor, and avoid empty judgments and obvious AI accents.

Constraints: - Check the facts first, then write the main text - Prioritize the use of official sources, original materials and credible first-hand information - Do not exaggerate facts to strengthen opinions - Do not write second-hand inferences as confirmed facts - Use more real pictures, screenshots, tables or necessary illustrations - The writing style should be natural and editorial, avoid templated paragraphs and mechanical transitions Acceptance criteria: - The title, beginning, body and end are complete - Core facts, data, timelines and key judgments are supported by sources - The main judgment of the article is clear and consistent with The factual materials are consistent - the graphics and text are mixed reasonably, and the tables or pictures serve the argument - when it needs to be published to a specific platform, the layout is adapted to the target platform - the final description of the main sources, verified facts, and remaining uncertainties.

Promotion method: - first collect and check the factual materials - organize the factual draft, key data, timeline and sources - then determine the main judgment and structure of the article - first complete the requirements for pictures, screenshots, tables or illustrations - finally unify the draft, polish and typesetting - General information search, structural adjustment and measures Word optimization advances on its own.

You must pause to ask about my situation: - Key data sources conflict with each other - There is an obvious bifurcation of the article angle, which will affect the title and main judgment - Need to use controversial or high-risk conclusions as the title - Insufficient official information, can only rely on second-hand inference - Need to use paid information, login account or external publishing permissions ================= 🍏🍏🍏 Template 3: Low-disruption hosting mode /goal Continue to advance the current task and disturb me as little as possible; you handle ordinary implementation details by yourself, but the key points Discussion must be suspended.

Context: I want you to be like an agent that works continuously, rather than confirming every step.

By default, you can break down tasks, check information, change code, run verifications and organize results yourself, but you cannot make high-impact decisions for me.

Constraints: - You decide the general implementation details yourself - Do not ask for confirmation frequently - Stay consistent with the current project, content, style, structure, and goals - Do not introduce major changes unless absolutely necessary - Do not overwrite, delete, or revert important content I already have - Be cautious about external services, accounts, fees, and release actions Acceptance criteria: - Tasks continue to advance in stages - Each stage has verifiable results or clear outputs - Midway status synchronization is concise, focusing on progress, blocking, and next steps - Final The results clearly indicate what has been done, how to verify, what is still missing, and what the risks are.

Ways to advance: - Disassemble the goals yourself and determine priorities - Prioritize the most critical obstructions - Solve common technical problems or data problems by yourself - Synchronize after completing the key stages, do not interrupt me at every small step - If the verification fails, try to locate and fix it first, and then report the remaining problems.

You must pause to ask about my situation: - Need to change the direction of the task or expand the scope of the task - Need to add external services, fees Use, account authorization or publishing actions - Important content needs to be deleted, overwritten or rewritten on a large scale - There are multiple reasonable solutions with widely varying long-term consequences - The current goals and acceptance criteria are not enough to move forward Acceptance criteria: - Mobile 375px and desktop layouts are normal - Relevant lint/typecheck passed - Final description of which files were changed and verification results Source: - - -
