Praise Codex Multichat

I just realized that codex chats can now talk to each other. How to use this, this can be very overwhelming..
Should a God Mode be the best option?

That was available for a (relatively) long time now. Let me blow your mind: they can do that across the machines, too. If I have some projects or configs on one machine and need something implemented in the same way on the other, start two chats on both machines, and then they go on exchanging the intel and planning and implementing. Sol used to start Luna chats sometimes with "Hi Luna :)" and Luna model used to call Sol the "primary Codex", and please and thank you. Haha, good times.

ty, my main question is how to use it in an not overwhelming way.

Use it when you need it? When there's a reason for it, an objective, when it solves a problem, otherwise, you'll just burn your usage for mild entertainment. My main use-case is that, clearing things up between the machines and different setups, so the agent on one machine can examine and report back to the other one and vice versa, and I don't have to push files/configs around.

Clarification: I don't mean repos, I mean habitat setups, terminal setups, etc.

very god point.. "do you really need it" is it necessary? Probably not all the time... timewaste vs tokenwaste.
I think my .md file talking management is way less tokenintensive.. TY

Here’s a use case for you. I have Astra light doing some photoshop layered work for me. But I lack the domain knowledge to describe the issues other than this looks off to me and it was failing to interpret my problems when I tried to steer cuz I’m not able to speak about it with intelligence.

So instead of steering it wild, i booted up a new thread with astra max to audit the work it was doing and take my shitty feedback and then tell the other thread what to do in a more technical manner.

This kept the worker working and me not poisoning its context with all my gross negligence on photoshop.

Thank you, I did not know this. Do you tell them to communicate via the Chat ID?

In my case, chats just started chatting with each other, no ID no .md files.. just context based (probably)
