@reach_vb I like this because it makes Codex pay the planning tax before touching files. My version would force a short `research.md` first: unknowns, files inspected, risky assumptions, verification commands. Then set_goal from that, not from the initial vibes.
@reach_vb thats a smart workflow pattern the research-first approach makes the goal way more targeted
@reach_vb great idea!

@reach_vb I like this thanks VB
codex tip: ask codex to do its research first and then use set_goal to set an appropriate goal instead of /goal It results in massively better prompt and downstream results! all my prompts would start with requirements gathering and research and once done set_goal
@swyx @tinkermight @reach_vb /goal lets you set a goal set_goal() is what codex can use to set its own goal
