Summary

The author explains they skip Codex's planning mode, instead using a conversation in chat to reach a pseudo-plan, then implement.

I never use planning mode in Codex. GPT 5.5 loves to research, so I just have a conversation and reach a pseudo-plan in chat. Then, I let it implement, maybe with a /fork beforehand to keep that plan as a revisit-able point. Probably the biggest switch coming from Claude Code https://t.co/5KqY6nm74D

OpenAI describes an internal experiment building a production software product with zero manually-written code using Codex agents, achieving approximately 10x faster development with 1.5M lines of code written by AI in five months. The team learned that effective agent-driven development requires engineers to focus on systems design, scaffolding, and feedback loops rather than writing code directly.
