name: Kick off coding tasks from Slack tagline: Turn Slack threads into scoped cloud tasks. summary: Mention @Codex in Slack to start a task tied to the right repo and environment, then review the result back in the thread or in Codex cloud. bestFor:

  • Async handoffs that start in a Slack thread and already have enough context to act on
  • Teams that want quick issue triage, bug fixes, or scoped implementation work without context switching starterPrompt: title: Kick Off the Task From a Thread body: "@Codex analyze the issue mentioned in this thread and implement a fix in ." suggestedModel: cloud relatedLinks:
  • label: Use Codex in Slack url: /codex/third-party/slack
  • label: Codex cloud environments url: /codex/environments/cloud-environment

How to use

  1. Install the Slack app, connect the right repositories and environments, and add @Codex to the channel.
  2. Mention @Codex in a thread with a clear request, constraints, and the outcome you want.
  3. Open the task link, review the result, and continue the follow-up in Slack if the task needs another pass.

You can learn more about how to use Codex in Slack in the dedicated guide.

Tips

  • If the thread does not already include enough context or suggested fix, include in your prompt some guidance
  • Make sure the repo and environment mapping are correct by mentioning the name of the project or environment in your prompt
  • Scope the request so Codex can finish it without a second planning loop
  • If your project is a large codebase, guide Codex by mentioning which files or folders are relevant to the task
