Turn a coding backlog into a few deliverables with checks that can actually pass.
The practical workflow
Start by checking uncommitted changes. Pick one bug, one improvement and one maintenance task only if capacity allows. Describe an acceptance test for each. Work on one change at a time, review diffs and record remaining issues.
Copy-and-adapt prompt
Given these repository tasks [list] and constraints [details], rank by impact, risk and dependency. Propose the smallest safe daily plan with acceptance checks and a rollback note. Do not assume tests passed.
Review checklist and limitations
End the day with a summary: code changed, tests run, known failures, commits still pending and the first next action.
What to do next
Choose a small issue, document the baseline and verify the result with a real test. Continue with the other Codex guides in the navigation menu.
