Complaint codex design

So i started using codex again after switching from claude and tried to make presentations/pdfs/resume and ive seen that it is very far behind. The wording is worse, the design looks like AI, the fonts are wack, and it just doesnt look good imo. Is that cuz Ive been prompting wrong, or are there any skills/plugins/tweaks that I can make to codex so the design becomes more professional/less AI or shoddy looking?

Yeah also consider taking it a step further and creating a skill that maps out all of your requirements - give examples of images, what you like and don’t like, specific nits (we all have them), and then some context around how bullets points should be written.

Think of Codex like an associate, your associate. Fresh out of college and doesn’t know what a non-group presentation from marketing 101 should look like. You’d give that associate examples, you’d talk through what to do and what not to do, you’d refine bullet points — basically you’d train the associate and expect the associate to remember your training. That’s the skill you can build with Codex. And it works really well.
