codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Read "using - superpowers" repeatedly, and then the topic drifts. [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by re-initiating the conversation or providing more specific instructions to the Codex model to prevent it from drifting off-topic.

Guidance

• Review the conversation thread (019dafe5-f9b8-7991-aa51-688fd7062256) to identify the point where the model started drifting off-topic and understand the context.
• Consider providing more specific and clear instructions to the model to minimize the chance of deviation from the intended topic.
• Evaluate if the model's behavior is due to a limitation in understanding the context or a bug in the Codex CLI version 0.122.0.
• Test the same scenario with a different model version or configuration to isolate the issue.

Notes

The lack of information about the expected behavior and additional context makes it challenging to provide a definitive solution. The issue might be specific to the gpt-5.4 model or the particular conversation thread.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Provide more specific instructions to the model and re-initiate the conversation to see if the issue persists, as this is a non-invasive approach to test the model's behavior without making significant changes.
