This is a valuable officially recognized codex self improve prompt:
Recommended for use:
“Review my recent work from the past 30 days (or all available history if shorter), and identify repetitive manual workflows worth packaging.
Use available evidence in this order:
- Recent Codex sessions and task summaries.
- Codex memories and rollout summaries to find patterns across sessions.
- If enabled, chronicles, to discover repetitive work outside of Codex. Use chronicles only for discovery; confirm key details in relevant source systems whenever possible.
- Existing skills, custom agents, and automations, to reuse or extend what already exists rather than recreate.
Search broadly for work that is repetitive, time-consuming, error-prone, context-heavy, or benefits from consistent process. Include workflows spanning coding, research, writing, planning, communication, operations, analysis, and personal management.
Only act on candidates that meet all of the following:
- Occurred at least twice, or is clearly likely to repeat and costly to repeat;
- Has stable inputs, a repeatable procedure, and clear output or stop conditions;
- Would materially improve speed, quality, consistency, or reliability;
- Is not already adequately covered.
Choose the smallest appropriate form:
- Skill: reusable workflow or playbook.
- Custom sub-agent: well-defined expert role or investigation task suitable for delegation.
- Automation: scheduled or recurring checks, reports, reminders, or monitoring.
- Skip: work that is too one-off, vague, sensitive, or lacks sufficient evidence to package.
First generate a concise shortlist including:
- Repetitive workflow
- Supporting evidence and dates
- Frequency / confidence
- Recommended form: skill, sub-agent, automation, extend existing, or skip
- Why it is or is not worth creating
Then only create high-confidence missing items. Keep them narrow, practical, source-aware, and easy to verify. Do not create speculative, overlapping, or overly broad assets.
Finally, conclude with:
- What you created or extended
- What you deliberately skipped
- What needs more evidence before packaging
