Record & Replay in Codex

TL;DR: With just one demonstration, Codex can learn your workflow and preferences, then automate it for you. ## Recording Actions: Show Codex Once, and It Learns In a video publishing workflow, the team manually extracts metadata from a publishing spreadsheet, locates the corresponding assets, and repeatedly fills in the same fields and settings in YouTube Studio. This time, let Codex watch as we perform the process: - Pull the title and description - Add a thumbnail and English captions - Save the video as unlisted Once the process is finished, Codex reviews the entire recording and converts what it learned into a skill. It remembers: - Where the metadata lives - How the upload package is organized - How to add captions, save, and verify each upload ## Replaying the Skill: Automate the Next Task Open a new thread, attach the next video package, and let Codex handle it. Codex will automatically: - Match the video package to the correct row in the spreadsheet - Fill in the metadata - Add the thumbnail and English captions - Upload the video as unlisted - Verify that everything was saved correctly No need to explain every step or preference in your prompt — just demonstrate it once, and it will do it for you next time. ## Use Cases for Skills This "Record & Replay" mechanism isn't limited to publishing videos. It can also be used for: - Formatting and sharing pull requests - Setting up calendar invitations in a specific way When you reuse the skill, Codex can complete the task through computer actions, browser actions, connected plugins, or a combination of them.
