Tips and Tricks for using Codex
OpenAI Developer Community
May 21, 2026
Hi guys I wanted to start this thread to see what everyone is breathing with.
Do you have any cool tips and tricks you don’t see on the web to share with devs in this forum? Something simple but efficient. Not complicated to implement not too tied to a specific project but more something that helps you save some time and tokens.
Here is 1 I thought of sharing:
/.feedback
* AGENTS.md
* README.md
* TEMPLATE.yaml
* /new
* /claimed
* /implemented
Placed in the root of your project, with a note in main agents.md file to do before commit preparation: to review the current session agent experience, identify frictions, problems, failed tools, or unclear instructions, as well as any other notes agent considers important to improve its efficiency, quality and overall work in this project.
Then simply ask your agent time from time to review the folder and improve the workflows and/or its instructions.
