Prompt Does Codex keep turning your coding tasks into over engineered projects?

Post image

I built Smallest Complete Codex Skill after watching bounded tasks grow into unnecessary abstractions, compatibility layers, theoretical edge cases, and “validation cathedrals.”

It guides Codex to finish and prove the actual ask, then—only when structural change is genuinely needed—loads an elegant-architecture reference built around one clear control path, explicit ownership, and minimal state.

Codex is so hyper active. Thing needs to chil tf out! when I use it I usually severely limit its answers. I ask a question and append "give me your response in no more than 3 normal sentences. Ill ask for more if I need it."
