What variant of Codex are you using?

cli

What feature would you like to see?

A way to ask Codex to consult ChatGPT Pro for a better answer on a specific issue. It should be based on consent, since there are strict limits on how many pro requests we can make, but it should be possible from the CLI.

Additional information

Occasionally I find that asking Codex to write an MD file with self-contained problem definition, pasting it to ChatGPT Pro on the web, and pasting the result back to Codex produces better results when tackling a truly nontrivial problem that Codex is unable to resolve on its own.

I'd like it to become an official workflow inside Codex - you ask it to "ask Pro for help", and it will do it internally.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a feature to consult ChatGPT Pro from the Codex CLI for better answers on specific issues, with user consent, could enhance the overall user experience.

Guidance

  • Investigate the Codex API to determine if there's an existing endpoint or parameter that can be used to trigger a request to ChatGPT Pro.
  • Consider adding a new command or flag to the Codex CLI that prompts the user for consent before making a request to ChatGPT Pro.
  • Develop a workflow that allows Codex to generate an MD file with a problem definition, send it to ChatGPT Pro, and then integrate the response back into Codex.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing rate limiting or quotas to ensure the number of pro requests remains within the allowed limits.

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the specific architecture and constraints of the Codex and ChatGPT Pro systems.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a custom script or plugin that automates the process of generating an MD file, sending it to ChatGPT Pro, and integrating the response back into Codex, until an official feature is available.
