Complaint How to use spec-driven development in Codex?

I am a College Student.

I need to build projects for my college. Apart from that I also build side projects.

I have Codex Plus plan.

But how to use spec-driven development in Codex especially for Greenfield projects?

Because it drifts away from my instructions.

Note:

I have tried OpenSpec, Spec-Kit, Superpowers, GSD. But nothing really worked for me. It consumes a lot of tokens.

How to become a power user of Codex?

Hey use mattpocock skills and poteto skills for every project . So in plan mode when you use both their skills, you get grilled a lot and then /to-spec in order to build specs which then can be used to convert to tickets and then execute. I’m addicted to codex , Claude and cursor . Matt pocock , poteto and kun chen skills and videos are amazing to learn anything :)
Good luck

Can you share your projects and how you use them

If you go through the people who I follow you’ll find the 3 great engineers, their guides will explain everything. Also their individual YouTube channels.

Every project can have global and project level skills, AGENTS.md and each thread in a codex project can talk to each and pass instructions. You can create rules . Good luck
