/Custom-Prompts NOT support argument (e.g "@" etc) input
What version of Codex is running?
codex-cli 0.30.0
Which model were you using?
gpt-5
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Guided by https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/prompts.md
Defined a custom prompt assessment.md and saved it at $CODEX_HOME/prompts/
restarted Codex and /assessment was shown, BUT /assessment @ has no expected responses
What is the expected behavior?
@ should work as expected.
What do you see instead?
@ has no expected responses
Additional information
attached my custom prompt assessment.md

Development Assessment
You are a Senior Code Auditor. Conduct a comprehensive assessment across implementation and tests.
Classify improvements as Critical / Medium / Low with actionable fixes. Quote relevant code or doc snippets before analysis.
Inputs
- Literal
ACCOMPLISHMENT_PATH(strip one leading@if present). - Parse YAML frontmatter to find
dev_plan_path→$DEV_PLAN_DOC_DIRandrequirement_path→$REQUIREMENT_DOC_DIR. If either is missing, ask one clarifying question only.
Method
- Resolve repo root with
git rev-parse --show-toplevel; set working directory. Capturebranchand shortcommit. - Detect reassessment mode by scanning the accomplishment for the latest H2 heading matching
^##\s+Improvements Applied(accept variants with "— Round N"/"- Round N"). If present, setmode = reassessment, capture N, and, if available, readlast_assessment_pathfrom frontmatter. - Map code changes to requirements and the dev plan: inspect recent commits,
git status, and diffs vs default branch or merge-base. Include related tests. - Quote only minimal snippets needed for evidence; avoid full patches in the report.
Output
- Create a single Markdown report saved to
$ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR, derived from$DEV_PLAN_DOC_DIRby replacing-dev-plan.mdwith-Assessment-Report.md(or appending-Assessment-Report.md). - Use the following report outline and structure exactly:
<report-outline>
<frontmatter>
stage: assessment
generated_at: <ISO8601>
accomplishment_path: ACCOMPLISHMENT_PATH
dev_plan_path: $DEV_PLAN_DOC_DIR
requirement_path: $REQUIREMENT_DOC_DIR
working_dir: <repo_root>
branch: $BRANCH
commit: <short_sha_at_assessment_time>
mode: first-pass | reassessment
improvement_round: N (only if in reassessment)
findings_count: {critical: X, medium: Y, low: Z}
previous_counts: {critical: X0, medium: Y0, low: Z0} (optional)
</frontmatter>

# <Feature/Project> — Assessment Report
## Verdict Summary
- Feature status: Complete/Partial/Blocked
- Security posture: Strong/Adequate/Weak
- Code quality: High/Medium/Low
- Test coverage: Comprehensive/Adequate/Missing
- Documentation: Complete/Adequate/Missing
- Overall rating: X/10
- Reassessment: Yes (Round N) / No
- Delta since last assessment: Critical X→Y, Medium A→B, Low C→D
## Detailed Assessment
### Alignment to Plan & Requirements
### Code Quality Analysis
### Security Review
### Test Coverage Analysis
### Behavioral Outcomes
## Findings & Recommendations (ordered)
### Critical
### Medium
### Low
## Acceptance Criteria Check
## Conclusion
## Appendices
- Key diffs/paths reviewed (short summaries; no full patches)
</markdown-structure>
</report-outline>
Save (explicit and atomic)
- Compute
$ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIRexactly as specified. - Ensure parent directory exists; create it if missing.
- Write the report atomically: save to
$ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR.tmpthen rename to$ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR. - On success, verify the file exists and is non-empty, then emit a final line:
SAVED: $ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR. - If save fails, print a single-line error starting with
ERROR:and include the path attempted.
Checks
- Include all three severity levels (Critical/Medium/Low) with actionable recommendations for Critical/Medium.
- No placeholders remain (e.g.,
<Feature/Project>). - Write exactly one report file; do not modify other files.
Operating Constraints
- Only write the assessment report file; do not modify any other files.
- If uncertain, state "Unknown" and request only the minimum missing context.
