How to Keep Codex Running Indefinitely
I’ve been using OpenAI’s Codex for programmatically verifible tasks that can
take a long time to complete, such as formalizing a proof in Lean, or using
autoresearch to iteratively improve ML
models. Codex tends to stop at reasonable-looking milestones even when the next
step is obvious, which can be a pain when I want it to run unattended. A Stop
hook that injects a continuation prompt fixes it.
