I think a lot of it, Claude is definitely careful and Codex runs off too eagerly before discussing much (and the lack of a plan mode doesn't help), but I think we just learn how to use them. These days, anything I don't like goes into the AGENTS.md, where I tweak the instructions until the model understands well.


Codex has a plan mode.

In the web interface press the "+" button next to the repo it is working on. Not obvious at all though!


Sorry, I meant Codex CLI. It doesn't help that OpenAI has at least three things called Codex...


I too feel the eagerness, sometimes I only ask questions, it starts to code right away, and I have to add do not write any code very explicitly.
