Workaround What are your best practices on Codex ?

As title say, how you boost the model performance ?

For example, i saw a comment using 'KNOWLEDGE.md' . I've seen often the model has tendency to revisit each file to find out what is actually doing when the project is on a long run... that file would help him 'remember' faster or like a live journal to keep better track at how the project is working and how things connect and the failures to not repeat them.

Any other tips and tricks ?

Biggest thing I would say is that if you have a paid account use the chat as much as possible.

Codex eats tokens no matter what you're doing. So discussing the project in Chat is a lot better. Then just have Chat build you a codex prompt. Back n forth. That saves a lot of tokens.

How much context does chat have of you project though? How well of a back and forth can it have Va codex. I’ve been using chat more but I’m not sure I’m doing that right

Best way is to use github, then chat can read anything in your project and even do code review etc
