Learnings from tonight: - Codex reads AGENTS.md/SOUL.md and gets ideas about org hierarchy - Use mktemp -d for scratch/chat sessions - Never start in ~/clawd or agent home dirs - Keep agents in their 'little box' 📦🦞

# Coding Agent (background-first)
|
|
|
|
Use **bash background mode** for coding agents. Full programmatic control, no tmux needed.
|
|
|
|
## The Pattern: workdir + background
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create temp space for chats/scratch work
|
|
SCRATCH=$(mktemp -d)
|
|
|
|
# Start agent in target directory ("little box" - only sees relevant files)
|
|
bash workdir:$SCRATCH background:true command:"<agent command>"
|
|
# Or for project work:
|
|
bash workdir:~/project/folder background:true command:"<agent command>"
|
|
# Returns sessionId for tracking
|
|
|
|
# Monitor progress
|
|
process action:log sessionId:XXX
|
|
|
|
# Check if done
|
|
process action:poll sessionId:XXX
|
|
|
|
# Send input (if agent asks a question)
|
|
process action:write sessionId:XXX data:"y"
|
|
|
|
# Kill if needed
|
|
process action:kill sessionId:XXX
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why workdir matters:** Agent wakes up in a focused directory, doesn't wander off reading unrelated files (like your soul.md 😅).

## Codex CLI
|
|
|
|
**Model:** `gpt-5.2-codex` is the default (set in ~/.codex/config.toml)
|
|
|
|
### Building/Creating (use --full-auto)
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec --full-auto \"Build a snake game with dark theme\""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Reviewing PRs (vanilla, no flags)
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #115. Use: git diff origin/main...origin/pr/115\""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Batch PR Reviews (parallel army!)
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Fetch all PR refs first
|
|
git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'
|
|
|
|
# Deploy the army - one Codex per PR!
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #86. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/86\""
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #87. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/87\""
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex exec \"Review PR #95. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/95\""
|
|
# ... repeat for all PRs
|
|
|
|
# Monitor all
|
|
process action:list
|
|
|
|
# Get results and post to GitHub
|
|
process action:log sessionId:XXX
|
|
gh pr comment <PR#> --body "<review content>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Tips for PR Reviews
|
|
- **Fetch refs first:** `git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'`
|
|
- **Use git diff:** Tell Codex to use `git diff origin/main...origin/pr/XX`
|
|
- **Don't checkout:** Multiple parallel reviews = don't let them change branches
|
|
- **Post results:** Use `gh pr comment` to post reviews to GitHub

## Claude Code
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"claude \"Your task\""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## OpenCode
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"opencode run \"Your task\""
|
|
```
|
|

## ⚠️ Rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Respect tool choice** — if user asks for Codex, use Codex. NEVER 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
|
|
6. **Parallel is OK** — run many Codex processes at once for batch work
|
|
7. **NEVER start Codex in ~/clawd/** — it'll read your soul docs and get weird ideas about the org chart! Use the target project dir or /tmp for blank slate chats
