Workflow
- 1No local terminal coding any more; cloud sessions in OpenClaw for more compute.x.com, 2026-09
- 2Use Fable to plan or advise, then make Codex the workhorse for implementation.x.com, 2026-07
- 3Run an orchestrator loop every five minutes to triage repos and direct work to parallel threads with triage, autoreview, and computer-use skills.x.com, 2026-06
- 4Run 3–8 Codex sessions in parallel, usually in the same folder.steipete.me, 2025-10
- 5Have agents make atomic commits, with an agent file keeping each commit scoped to edited files.steipete.me, 2025-10
- 6Discuss and iterate with Codex; write a spec and get GPT-5-Pro review only for tricky work.steipete.me, 2025-10
Config
Public agent rules, MCP setup, project rules, and terminal-title scripts; its README says the repository was his mid-2025 Cursor-era material.
