  "textContent": "Thanks for sharing this idea @jon.power, and welcome to the community.\n\nGood news: a Plan Mode workflow is already available in Codex. You can instruct Codex to inspect the repository, analyze the task, ask clarifying questions, and produce a proposed implementation and validation plan before making any changes. This is especially useful for larger refactors, migrations, and multi-agent coordination.\n\nThe current approach is prompt-driven rather than a dedicated UI toggle, but it supports the same separation between planning and execution that you’re describing.\n\nYou can find more details and examples here:\nhttps://developers.openai.com/codex/learn/best-practices\n\nThat said, a dedicated user-facing toggle could still make this workflow more discoverable and easier to use, so it’s a reasonable feature request. Curious to hear how others are handling planning vs. execution in their Codex workflows.\n\n-Mark G.",
