Purpose
Codex First Task Prompt Generator is a free prompt generation tool that helps users generate a "first task" prompt for a Codex CLI project. It turns the project type, goals, constraints, and acceptance methods into a copyable Codex prompt, so that Codex clarifies the task boundaries before starting to code.
Main Capabilities
- Generates a copyable first Codex prompt based on the project type, goals, constraints, and acceptance methods.
- The default scenario is a small web page change; after modifying the fields, it automatically generates a more fitting Codex prompt.
- The prompt guides Codex to first output a plan, then confirm the scope of changes.
- Supports specifying which files, business logic, payment flows, and data must not be changed, to reduce the risk of going off track.
- Requires providing page checks, command checks, or diff checks, emphasizing that only looking at the completion statement does not count as completion.
- Provides a 2.99 yuan Codex beginner troubleshooting checklist, including installation and login self-checks, the first task workflow, common failure troubleshooting, and more copyable prompt templates.
How to Use
After users open the web page, they fill in fields such as the project type, goals, constraints, and acceptance methods according to the current project. The tool automatically generates the corresponding Codex prompt, and users can copy the prompt and use it with Codex CLI. The material suggests first letting Codex confirm the current directory, relevant files, and the scope it plans to modify, to avoid changing an old copy.
Applicable Scenarios
- Using Codex CLI for the first time and needing to generate a first task prompt with a clear scope and explicit constraints.
- Making a small web page change and wanting Codex to provide a plan before making modifications.
- Needing to specify files, business logic, payment flows, or data boundaries that must not be changed.
- Needing to set acceptance criteria such as page checks, command checks, or diff checks for the task.
Limitations
- The 2.99 yuan beginner troubleshooting checklist is delivered through Xianyu chat and is a checklist and prompt template package, not a hosted programming service.
- The material does not provide a complete list of the specific project types supported by the tool, language options for the generated prompt, or whether it supports team collaboration or history records.
- The material does not provide more details on pricing, platform compatibility, effect guarantees, or usage steps.
