Nice Friend - Codex Design Consultation

Consult OpenAI Codex CLI (codex exec) as a trusted, knowledgeable friend for design review and technical feedback.

How to use

1. Prepare context for Codex by reading relevant files (DESIGN.md, source code, etc.)
2. Construct a prompt that includes:
   • The project context (what trajix is, current architecture)
   • The specific question or area to review
   • A request for honest, constructive feedback as a friend would give
3. Run codex exec via Bash with the prepared prompt and relevant context
4. Present Codex's feedback to the user

Prompt construction

When calling codex exec, use this pattern:

codex exec -s read-only "
You are a trusted friend and experienced software engineer reviewing a project.
Be honest, constructive, and specific. Point out both strengths and concerns.
If you see potential issues, suggest alternatives.

Project: [brief description]
Context: [relevant design/code excerpts]

Question: [the user's specific question or $ARGUMENTS]
"

Guidelines

• Always pass relevant project files as context (pipe file contents or reference them)
• Use -s read-only sandbox mode since this is a consultation, not code generation
• Use -C to set the working directory to the project root so Codex can read files
• If the topic is broad (e.g., "review the design"), focus on architecture, trade-offs, and potential pitfalls
• Present Codex's response clearly, noting it as Codex's perspective
• If Codex raises valid concerns, discuss whether to act on them
