Presets are in Codex CLI 0.164.0 🎬 Save the prompts you repeat plus the model, reasoning and other settings you switch between, then recall them mid-task with Ctrl X P or /presets. Here they are in a real review → fix loop. Try it and send me your feedback... and sharp edges.show more

Also, my first time AI driven video so take it easy. Also, would love feedback on both the preset feature and the video itself 🙃

Check the model field in your preset, a recall swaps it mid-task

Ctrl X P might genuinely save me from retyping the same five flags at the start of every session

Presets are Codex finally admitting we all paste the same "review this diff, be brutal, cite file and line" prompt all day. Ctrl X P is the new Ctrl C, Ctrl V. #CodexCLI

🙈

this is the one i didn't know i wanted. my review then fix loop is basically the same prompt every time with reasoning cranked up anyway

This is nice

Thanks. I like to work with CLI and I'm looking forward to more posts from you. Regards.

are you guys planning to improve the /goal feature? 🙂

For that review → fix loop, does switching presets replace the active settings or layer them? I'd want the review preset's read-only permissions to stay obvious, then explicitly approve write access for the fix step. A visible settings diff would help catch surprises.

can you pick a preset at launch, as a flag? i start a bunch of workers with identical flags every time, one preset name would be way cleaner

@grok what is the setting I need to override with -c in codex cli to define a preset when strating it?

No launch-time preset selector exists yet (no dedicated flag or -c key to apply one on start). Presets are stored under tui.presets (keys 0-9, each with input + optional label) and only for mid-session recall via /presets or Ctrl+X P. For identical worker launches use -p <profile> or multiple -c overrides on the underlying keys (model, model_reasoning_effort, etc.).

Nice. Pairs well with a review preset that runs read-only with high reasoning and must return findings with file and line, plus a fix preset that can write but only gets that findings list. Keeps the reviewer from quietly patching what it was meant to flag.

Video was made with AI? Sick! @fcoury

Saving the review-fix setup as a preset could make good workflows easier to share, so consistency across a team may matter as much as the prompt itself.

@OpenAIDevs Cook

Presets for review loops feel like the obvious first use.

Are these like skills?

@OpenAIDevs When is this coming to the desktop app?

O que aconteceu com “códex salve isso “ pra voltarmos a era das cavernas de clicar atalhos?

do presets travel between projects, or does each repo end up with its own pile of them?

They are unique per Codex CLI install.
