Any fellow Codex prompters? Best practices and tips?

I've been experimenting with Codex for a few months and wanted to share what has worked for me and hear other people’s approaches:

  • Break problems into smaller tasks. Giving Codex bite-sized, well-scoped requests produces cleaner results.
  • Follow each task with a review prompt so I can confirm it did what I asked it to (Codex often finds small issues with the previous tasks).
  • Codex obviously handles bug-fixing much better when I provide logs. I actually ask it to “bomb” my code with console.log statements (for development). That helps a lot when debugging.

Any other best practices/ideas or tips?
