Where am I? What was I supposed to do again?”</p> <p>It understands the words, but the actual result is often not good enough.</p> <p>So I built a small tool called <strong>codexgo</strong>.</p> <p>Instead of asking Codex to reconstruct the task from natural language, codexgo reads the local Codex state database directly, finds the previous session thread, and identifies the real user request more accurately.</p> <p>This makes it much easier to continue a task without having to explain everything again.</p> <p>If you find it useful, I’d really appreciate a star ⭐</p> <p>If you run into any issues, feel free to DM me or open an issue on GitHub.</p> <p>Also, feel free to check out my other projects too :)</p> <p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/JY0xLU/codexgo" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/JY0xLU/codexgo</a></p> ai programming beginners opensource
