What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

There are a lot of really good automation templates, but after selecting one, the template suggestions disappear. It would be great to have a way to keep templates accessible so multiple automations can be set up from templates, even if they’re created one at a time.

A workaround I found is:

  1. Add the first automation.
  2. Navigate to ~/.codex/automation/ and copy and paste the automation elsewhere.
  3. Return to step 1 and add a "first" automation again.

Once you've set up all the automations you want, copy everything back into the ~/.codex/automation/ folder.

This UI was redesigned, so this feature request no longer applies.
