I’m often jumping between several threads at a time while they work in parallel. I might leave my computer for a few hours and come back.
The problem is, sometimes I forget what threads are still active. I wish there was a way to mark threads as “Open” / “Closed” when I’m basically done working a chain of thought.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Hey welcome to the Developer’s community!
I’ve gotten into the habit of making the last line of my codex reports be a certain thing, when it’s finished with a task.
It’s nice because that last line of a report always has that indicator and you can set it up to say other things like ‘needs decision’ if a thread isn’t finished without your input.
Add that sort of thing to your agents.md and have your codex agent read the rules there at the start of each thread.
As you work with it, you’ll get the idea of what sort of tags you want, but ultimately having that last line of every codex report being a message explaining what part of the process it’s in or completed really helped me from losing my mind on more than one night now.
