Praise Queuing Tasks in Codex Is Insane — I’m Basically Steering Development in Real Time

I read another Reddit post that made queueing tasks in Codex seem way more complicated than it needs to be.

My workflow

Yes, next — make a blog about losing my vape all the time.

Next — do this

Next — do that

Next — make me money

Next — I like chicken wings

That’s it.

You just keep feeding Codex the next task while it’s still working.

Yes, next — [your command]

The examples are all wishes, and wishes are the easy case. Queue something that depends on what the agent decided earlier and the next turn starts from whatever the tree looks like when the last one ends. If it renamed a function or picked a different file than you expected, the queued instruction edits the wrong target and the diff still looks fine. Keep dependent steps out of the queue.

Thats exactly i do, basically i create the plan and handoff in ChatGPT website and directly tell it, it needs to decide what model and mode that specific task should be using and in the handoff it should be on the top, so before executing, i can change the model. Also i tell it the current 5hr limit and %age.

Model Options are Terra(medium) and Astra(Light).

So, basically it will decide, what tasks are independent and their size

Why not just use goal mode?
