How to use
- Install the Slack app, connect the right repositories and environments, and add
@Codexto the channel. - Mention
@Codexin a thread with a clear request, constraints, and the outcome you want. - Open the chat 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
