What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

I'd love the ability for the Codex App to take action against itself from within sessions.

Some basic things I'd like to be able to do:

  • /rename the current session: I have automations running hourly that create new sessions within a project. Eventually I just have a pile of sessions that all have the same title, making it very difficult to manage. It'd be cool if I could instruct Codex to set this title to something meaningful by itself as part of my automation spec.

  • /archive the current session: same situation as the last point, but sometimes the automation session doesn't find any new work to do. I end up accumulating a bunch of these empty sessions and having to archive them manually at the end of the day. Would be great to instruct Codex to do this cleanup itself.

Maybe some of this exists in some form already, but I just haven't found it yet. Let me know!

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user needs a way for the Codex App to manage its own sessions, including renaming and archiving, potentially through automation.

Guidance

  • Investigate existing Codex App commands or APIs that could be used for session management, such as renaming or archiving sessions.
  • Explore automation capabilities within the Codex App to see if they can be used to execute these management tasks.
  • Check the Codex App documentation for any mentions of session management or automation features that could achieve the desired functionality.
  • Consider reaching out to the Codex App support or community to see if similar functionality has been requested or implemented.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details about the Codex App and its capabilities, making it difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate existing commands or APIs, as it seems like the user is looking for a built-in solution rather than an external fix.
