Codex Session Manager
Inspect a coding-agent session's history before acting, then send one bounded, state-aware instruction and require evidence before declaring completion.
Use When
- Locate a target session with sessions_list and review its acceptance criteria and prior work via sessions_history
- Redirect a coding agent that has drifted out of scope by restating the original goal and requesting a scoped diff
- Verify completion by demanding changed files plus fresh test, build, or lint output rather than accepting a bare success claim
Guardrails
- Inspect session state before acting; never assume progress from labels, memory, or guesses
- Require explicit user approval before instructing the agent to push, publish, merge, delete, or send external messages
- Do not interrupt an actively progressing agent unless clarification, safety, or drift correction is needed
Default Flow
- Confirm the user intent and whether the action is read-only or state-changing.
- Use the narrowest available tool scope and collect only the context needed for the task.
- For state-changing or external actions, stop for explicit approval before acting.
- Summarize what changed or what was learned, including relevant object IDs or links.
