Agents modify file metadata to configure the application's interface.

this! codex can create and interact with threads across projects and tasks - all you need to do is ask
I’ve used this recently orchestrate multiple worktrees and implement a feature with different PoVs using subagents
and ofcourse to archive, unarchive and find relevant threads based on context
massive quality of life improvement

You can just ask Codex to organize your Codex. Pretty neat!

Underrated how codex app is configurable by file edits, which agents can make
Your chat logs are just files, so you can edit the metadata and tadah shows up in the app

Guinness is one of the great people on the team who has shipped a lot of delights to the app

@guinnesschen Have this in my Open-source Ghostty based Codex alternative for a while now @ghostex_dev
You can have any Agent call any other agent (Ex. Codex prompting Claude for design + reading response)
Please give it a try 🙏🏻

Context management is quietly becoming the core competency gap between agentic tools. Claude Code has memory/compaction. Codex now has self-organizing threads. Cursor has rules files. They're all solving the same problem: agents that degrade over long sessions. Different approaches, same bottleneck.
@ajambrosino @guinnesschen i added https://developers.openai.com/codex/changelog
@guinnesschen wait til they find out any thread can talk to any other thread
@guinnesschen Interesting. Didn't know you could do that!
@guinnesschen What where are the docs and plugins for this
@guinnesschen the worktree-per-thread part is the upgrade nobody is talking about. parallel branches with isolated state was the missing primitive for multi-agent coding. you turned it from a workflow hack into a default.
@jxnlco @guinnesschen can you two jam on this please
It can now create its own threads, search them, organize, pin important ones and even spin up parallel worktrees. We’re getting dangerously close to “set a goal and go touch grass” mode. But the moment you let it fully manage itself without guardrails, the hallucinations and context drift become your problem at 3am.
Parallel worktrees is the part people will sleep on. Spinning up the threads was never the hard part, keeping context straight across them was. The new bottleneck is review: once the agent runs five tasks at once, you become the merge conflict. How are you keeping all of them coherent?
@guinnesschen Does it work in codex-cli as well?
@guinnesschen the app, ime, often decides it’s not permitted to create in-thread automations, or start new threads (particularly when computer use is involved).
when i narrow down why i think it’s happening i will report back ❤️
