Symlinking prompts to `~/codex/prompts` does not work
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Oct 10, 2025 by ArthurFlag Closed Oct 10, 2025
What version of Codex is running?
codex-cli 0.46.0
Which model were you using?
gpt-5
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I symlinked my prompts from .github/prompts to ~/.codex/prompts:
find ./.github/prompts/ -type f -exec bash -c 'ln -s "$(realpath "{}")" "$HOME/.codex/prompts/$(basename "{}")"' \;
Then I start a new codex session, and try to run a prompt with / and none were found. When I create the same file without a symlink, it works as expected.
What is the expected behavior?
Supporting symlinks would be great to be able to share prompts from a repo.
What do you see instead?
