👋 If you’re new to Codex, here are 7 beginner tips for apps with Codex. (Bookmark it and use it tonight) 1. Start with: GPT-5.4 high That is high reasoning. It is enough. Don’t be tempted by "xhigh" unless working on something really tricky. It uses more tokens and will be slower to finish. 2. Sometimes, more reasoning may not help. You may need to give your agents better docs that are up to date. I prefer to have my agents create Markdown docs from DocSet that are local, instead of web scraping. I use DocSetQuery to create docs from Apple DocSet bundles. github.com/PaulSolt/DocSe… 3. Read @steipete's post to get started. Bookmark his blog and follow him. Read his post, it’s gold, and so are his other workflow posts. steipete.me/posts/2025/shi… 4. Copy aspects from Peter’s agents .md file and make it your own. There are thousands of hours of learning in his open-source projects. github.com/steipete/agent… Use the scripts too, things like committer for atomic commits are super powerful when multiple agents work in one folder. 5. Just talk to Codex. You don't need complex rules. You don't need to create huge Plan .md files. You can get really good results by just working on one aspect of a feature at a time, handing it off, and then letting Codex do it. If you get bored waiting, start up another project. Ask it to do something and then go back to the original one. Most likely, it will be done unless you're doing a huge refactor. 6. If you're making an iOS or macOS app, check out my App-Creator skill: super-easy-apps.kit.com/app-creator It's based on Makefiles and will give your agent eyes into your Xcode build failures and test failures. It needs this feedback loop to write working code and fix bugs. 7. You can always ask your agent to copy something from another project. Peter does this all the time and has agents leveraging work they’ve already done for new projects. I have my agents refer to previous project documentation or code patterns. See my app workflow video: How I use Codex GPT 5.4 with Xcode (My Complete Workflow): youtube.com/watch?v=ls9QaD… Enjoy your next app!

@PaulSolt Hey Paul I need help. I've been trying to use Codex CLI on Windows 10 VS code but it's very slow at running commands and looking through files. Claude and gemini work perfectly fine. I tried WSL but barely made any improvements any suggestion? Thank you
