What feature would you like to see?

I often code using Codex across multiple sessions across multiple days/ weeks. I'd like there to be a way to keep context shared so when I pick things back up tomorrow it doesn't need to start from scratch, with "familiarise yourself with this repo, then let's go ...". A better history would be good as a log so it can be used, even if highly compacted, so we can start back up easily.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

Can try yes.

That's great idea. I think a combination of Agents.md and resuming a previous conversation (Coming soon) will solve this use case.

This is solved already by starting codex with codex resume no?

Hadn't seen that, when did it ship do you know? Works though!

would be great to be able to /resume to make this a little more obvious that it was a thing!
i've been wondering about this for a while
