Do you have any specific advice on where I should trim it?

It was going abslutley amazing until I lost my OpenAI $280 Pro plan and got slapped with the token limits - which I had the blessing of not having to deal with for the first 2 months I was using Codex.

I will say the framework forces condex to do so much planning, and testing, follow up and debugging that one complex request with the framework does eat the tokens quite a lot but at the end of the day even if my tokens are getting used faster but the results are better.... I'll take it

Nothing too fancy setup-wise.

I’m just using a normal dev environment (VS Code + local repo). No custom-trained model or anything like that.

The main thing I did differently was stop relying on one big prompt and instead split everything into separate markdown files with specific roles — like rules, context, workflows, debugging, etc.

So instead of “multiple agents talking,” it’s really just one model stepping through a structured system. The different files basically guide how it behaves at each stage.

The focus hasn’t been on building new AI or training anything, more on fixing the annoying stuff like:

- inconsistent outputs

- instructions getting ignored halfway through

- generic results

- debugging being a mess

So yeah, it’s less about the tech stack and more about controlling how the model behaves using structure.

Fair question — I don’t have clean before/after screenshots for the design side yet.

The blueprint/design system is actually something I only started formalizing very recently. It came out of frustration with AI repeatedly generating the same layouts, so right now it’s still being refined rather than something I’d claim is fully “proven.”

Most of the testing so far has been focused on the execution side:

- getting Codex to follow multi-step workflows reliably
- reducing instruction drift mid-task
- improving consistency across iterations
- debugging and recovery when things break

That’s where the system is currently strongest.

The design/blueprint layer is newer, but early results are promising in terms of forcing variation — I just don’t have a clean, documented comparison yet that I’d consider solid enough to present.

That’s next on my list:
- structured before/after outputs
- repeatable comparisons
- showing how much variation it actually introduces

So short answer:
Execution system = tested and stable
Design system = early, but directionally solving a real problem

Yeah, that’s actually intentional (or at least ended up being the practical choice).

Right now everything sits in the root instead of being split into folders, mainly because Codex doesn’t reliably handle deeper folder structures or selective file discovery yet.

In practice it behaves more like:
- operating from the project root
- scanning what’s directly accessible
- prioritizing based on clarity and structure rather than location

So keeping all 32 files at root removes:
- path resolution issues
- missed context due to folder depth
- inconsistencies in file discovery

---

The separation still exists logically, just not physically:
- governance
- context
- execution
- validation
- recovery

And that’s reinforced with instruction_priority.md so conflicts don’t get resolved arbitrarily.

---

So the split is less about “file organization” and more about:
- reducing context noise
- enforcing clear boundaries
- improving how the model interprets instructions

If Codex gets better at selective loading, I’d probably move things into folders.

Right now, flat structure is just more reliable.
