Delegate Background Work To Codex Cloud
Use cloud agents for bounded, parallel tasks that can land as branches or PRs while you keep working locally.
- 1Name the job before naming the tool.
- 2Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
- 3Run the result as a user, not as a fan of the tool.
- 4Inspect the diff, data access, and failure path before sharing.
Use this as the working prompt or checklist for the lesson.
Split a content audit into three cloud tasks: broken links, stale claims, and missing quizzes. Give each task a file scope and expected artifact.- What should the user be able to do when this is finished?
- What data should the app or agent never expose?
- What test proves the change works?
- What rollback path exists if the output is wrong?
