Hi team — loving Codex CLI. Could we improve readability and UI polish so long outputs are easier to scan and improve the user experiance?

You know what I mean—compete with Claude Code on polish and readability; readability is still an issue on current Codex CLI.

One way to improve this by yourself is to start with something like this in your global AGENTS.md:

When responding to a planning request, as well as questions about the codebase,
respond with a structured and easy-to-read format, using headings, bullet points, and numbered lists where appropriate.

We continue to make improvements in readability and polish, but there's always room for improvement here.

I'm going to close out this issue because it's too vague to be actionable, but if you have any specific suggestions, we welcome them. Please keep the suggestions coming!
