What variant of Codex are you using?

App Macos

What feature would you like to see?

When using the Codex Mac app during development, I sometimes add several queued messages that all refer to the same UI element or the same requested change.

In many cases, these separate queued messages could be combined into a single clearer instruction. Right now, the queue can become noisy and repetitive, which makes it harder to review and increases the chance of conflicting or fragmented guidance.

Proposed improvement Add a contextual action or button that appears when multiple queued messages seem to concern the same element or topic.

Example behavior:

Detect queued messages that are likely related Show a suggestion such as “Merge and rewrite” Combine those queued messages into one cleaner, consolidated instruction Preserve the original intent while removing duplication

Why this would help

Reduces clutter in the queue Makes instructions clearer before sending Lowers the risk of contradictory or overlapping requests Improves workflow speed when iterating quickly on the same component

TL;DR

Implement a feature to merge and rewrite related queued messages in the Codex Mac app to reduce clutter and improve instruction clarity.

Guidance

  • Identify and detect queued messages that are likely related to the same UI element or topic, potentially using natural language processing or keyword matching.
  • Design a contextual action or button to suggest merging and rewriting these related messages, such as a "Merge and rewrite" option.
  • Develop an algorithm to combine the original messages into a single, clearer instruction while preserving the original intent and removing duplication.
  • Test and refine the feature to ensure it accurately identifies related messages and produces coherent, concise instructions.

Notes

The implementation details of the feature are not specified, and the technical requirements for detecting related messages and merging them into a single instruction are unclear.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a manual review process for queued messages to identify and merge related instructions until the automated feature is developed, to reduce clutter and improve workflow efficiency.
