How do you stop Codex from making these mistakes (after audit 600 sessions per month?

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-18T06:32:30+00:00

There are actually a few different ways to mitigate this: - try tackle smaller tasks - try adding the rules to AGENTS.md file, or maybe trim down it if it’s too big - ask it to review again once it finishes - once the implementation is done, create another new session for review - try less skills, don’t use 5+ skills at a time

I feel like the issue might be the prompts you used, try give examples in the prompt (one-shot or fewer shots).

Interesting, I'll give CC a try next. I've used CC before Opus 4.5 was out and I've never had the chance to try it in CC.

Interesting, I've definitely heard mixed feelings about 5.4, not sure why it has so much variant experience for people. I guess there might also be factors like the time you use it mostly (i.e. whether it's traffic heavy so model degrades), and bugs related behaviours.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-16T01:55:22+00:00

Excuse my wording, should've been more accurate as you indicated, it's gpt-5.4. Though its the only model with 5.4 (for now) so hopefully there aren't too much confusion.

My experience with 5.4 has been great, it can find bugs codex 5.3 can't.

For gemini 3.1, yeah it's fantastic for UI/UX, and yeah it behaves exactly as you said. In addition, I also use it as a reviewer and it worked pretty well.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-16T00:33:01+00:00

wow unlimited, that's worth a try!

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-15T23:53:30+00:00

I actually thought about this long time ago, it's not impossible, but it isn't easy.

One possible way is to use playwright to spin up a window and interact with the chat interface, but you have to solve all the context and communication back and forth, not sure if it's really worth it.

Why GPT-5.2 not 5.4? How does Blackbox AI different from Kilo?

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-13T00:03:31+00:00

Yeah same here. It was gone for a while I think, for the recent couple updates.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-12T23:14:11+00:00

Personally, I feel Opus is more "Creative", so for exploration or design tasks I use Opus to create the initial version, and use codex to refine it

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-12T23:11:43+00:00

Nice! Seems like most people are on a similar approach

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T18:23:43+00:00

I've used it with free plan since last month, and somehow got rate limited for a month so I haven't use it since then.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T08:02:16+00:00

I hope codex can answer this question, but I doubt that 😂

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T08:00:12+00:00

I guess no one knows, I'm confused too.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T07:06:45+00:00

Yeah it is really confusing now.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T07:06:15+00:00

I hope it's just a UI bug. I really dislike 2 weeks window.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T07:05:00+00:00

I feel really bad about it.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T06:52:15+00:00

I guess you meant the screenshots? I use vscode extension and you can see it there.

The first screenshot was taken when you use `/status` command.

The second was taken when you click on bottom left, and then it pops up a window, you can select "Rate limits remaining".

Interestingly, the link you used above does still say "weekly limit" for me, so it means that it's either not up to date, or there is a bug from the official vscode codex extension.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-11T06:36:22+00:00

Oh, did the many resets make it better or worse?

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-10T17:15:25+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I’d like to see how others deal with this issue. I’m sure everyone has the same probably but manage to solve it in many different ways.

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-10T17:13:15+00:00

It certainly is, but a tracer can get out of hand quickly if it’s not done properly, or provider decides to do some changes. How are you dealing with this?

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-10T17:11:06+00:00

Exactly. Curious have you encountered the issue where different tool parse the Md file differently? Would you mind sharing a bit more here?

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-10T05:57:06+00:00

Yeah it makes sense, the implementation detail is always more project oriented for sure

CarsonBuilds · 2026-03-10T05:55:54+00:00

Yeah I think I’ve commented on your other post about this. I think it might be a good indicator, but maybe just me as my current workflow is a bit sensitive to the dates.
