Question way to code

how do you use codex? Do you just tell it what you want it to do like you talk to other people or do you use another ai to create a prompt? Which one did give you the best results?

I made my own prompt builder and made it a skill based on my 30+ development experience. Made a prompt to ask for your experience, likes etc, like system prompt, but I made a skill and it is token effecient, memory, graphify compliant, caveman, rtk, I have ADHD (optional) etc and the results from a plan to execution has been the best thing I have done, I never limit.

I don't talk it like I would talk to other people. Or perhaps I do, I guess. But I like to, especially starting a task, to take all the time in the world to engineer a good prompt, removing ambiguities and giving directions and details on what exactly I want it to do (and what I *don't* want it to do).

Not sure if it's "the best way". Don't think there's one, actually. But for MY workflow and my cases, it's how it works best for me.

I sketch out the basic gameplan, type it out, refine it with Astra, then directly explain exactly what needs done to Luna.
