Codex Collaborator

Collaborate with Codex CLI for objective, multi-perspective analysis.

Core Principles

Objective Dialogue

Request Codex to provide unbiased, objective analysis:

• Ask for honest critique, not validation
• Request counterarguments and potential flaws
• Value disagreement as a path to better decisions

Iterative Refinement

Continue discussion until convergence—no fixed number of rounds.

Workflow

1. Frame the Question

Include:

• Context and constraints
• Specific decision point
• Request for objectivity: "Be critical. Point out flaws. Don't defer to any assumed preference."

2. Execute Codex

codex exec "YOUR_PROMPT" --sandbox read-only

3. Analyze & Iterate

After each response:

• Identify disagreements and new perspectives
• Formulate follow-up questions if needed
• Continue until a clear synthesis emerges

4. Synthesize

Combine insights:

• Areas of consensus
• Unresolved disagreements
• Final recommendation with rationale

Prompt Template

[TOPIC/QUESTION]

Context: [CONTEXT]

Important: Provide objective analysis. Be critical and point out flaws.
Don't defer to any assumed preference. If you disagree, say so clearly.

Best Practices

• Explicitly request objectivity in every prompt
• Challenge responses with counterarguments
• Probe for hidden issues
• Value uncertainty over false confidence
