MASSIVE Update to Codex CLI (IDE Bonus!)

Codex CLI just got a massive usability upgrade. Cleaner output. Custom prompts. Full IDE integration.

In this video, I’ll walk through the biggest changes to Codex CLI, including:
– New checklist-style output that’s actually readable
– How to create and use your own custom prompts
– Small but powerful upgrades like queued commands
– The brand new IDE extension for Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf

Codex is now 10× easier to use — and honestly, a lot more fun. If you’ve been frustrated by messy logs or missing features, this update changes everything.
