## Summary

Twelve Codex Tricks Power Users Quietly Share is part of Tony Lee's ongoing coverage of AI agents, developer tools, startup strategy, and AI industry shifts.

## Outline

- No subheadings in source markdown

## Content

Desktop Codex plus a ChatGPT sub is only half the setup. The rest is harness technique from daily use.

1. **Plan credit via ChatGPT MCP** — research and plan against the local repo in ChatGPT; execute in Codex on separate quota.
2. **Multi-account API pool** — round-robin accounts behind a gateway for quota isolation.
3. **Excalidraw in the in-app browser** — arrows beat a hundred lines when intent is spatial.
4. **Parallel imagegen subagents** — overnight content factories need fan-out, not serial clicks.
5. **Local → remote handoff** — start on a laptop, continue on VPS or Mac mini.
6. **Design + record/replay plugins** — denser UI and reusable procedure memory.
7. **Grill-me → PRD** — interview requirements before code.
8. **Agent kanban** — backlog through done with proof of work.
9. **Trim the harness** — delete ceremony that only burns tokens.
10. **Skill warehouse links** — one source, many projects.
11. **Status surfaces** — menu bar so long runs do not own your focus.
12. **Multi-tool control center** — specialists for search/media; Codex conducts.

Growth now favors people who **manage** AI systems, not only prompt them.
