coding-agent: comprehensive update from Jan 2 learnings
- workdir 'little box' pattern (don't read unrelated files) - background mode replaces tmux - --full-auto for building, vanilla for reviewing - parallel Codex processes supported - PR review tips (fetch refs, use git diff, don't checkout) - patience rules (don't kill slow sessions!)

# Coding Agent (background-first)
|

|
||||
Use **bash background mode** for all coding-agent CLIs. Full programmatic control, no tmux needed.

Why workdir matters: Agent wakes up in a focused directory, doesn't wander off reading unrelated files.

## Codex CLI
|
||||
|
||||
**Model:** `gpt-5.2-codex` — choose reasoning effort based on task:
|
||||
- `medium` — most tasks
|
||||
**Model:** `gpt-5.2-codex` is the default (set in ~/.codex/config.toml)
|
||||
|
||||
**Reasoning effort:** Choose based on task complexity:
|
||||
- `medium` — most tasks (default)
|
||||
- `high` — complex/architectural tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### Building/Creating (use --full-auto)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec --model gpt-5.2-codex -c reasoning_effort=\"medium\" -s workspace-write \"Your task\""
|
||||
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec --full-auto \"Build a snake game with dark theme\""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Flags:** `-s workspace-write`, `--full-auto`, `--skip-git-repo-check`
|
||||
### Reviewing (vanilla, no flags needed)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #115. Run git diff origin/main...origin/pr/115 to see changes.\""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Multiple Codex Processes
|
||||
You can run many Codex processes in parallel! Each gets its own session:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start multiple reviews
|
||||
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #1\""
|
||||
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #2\""
|
||||
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #3\""
|
||||
|
||||
# Check all running
|
||||
process action:list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### PR Review Tips
|
||||
- Fetch PR refs first: `git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'`
|
||||
- Tell Codex to use: `git diff origin/main...origin/pr/XX`
|
||||
- Don't let it checkout branches (conflicts with parallel reviews)

## ⚠️ Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Respect tool choice** — if user asks for Codex, use Codex. Don't offer to build it yourself!

|

2. **Be patient** — don't kill sessions because they're "slow"
|
||||
3. **Monitor with process:log** — check progress without interfering
|
||||
4. **--full-auto for building** — auto-approves changes
|
||||
5. **vanilla for reviewing** — no special flags needed
