OpenAI Codex Fundamentals
In this workshop your team learns the basics of working with OpenAI Codex as a coding agent. You will delegate real tasks, learn how to formulate instructions and acceptance criteria, and practise reviewing the results. Exercises run on your own repository or a sandbox project, and trained AI Code Engineers show how to keep quality and accountability with humans.

Who it is for
- Developers starting with OpenAI Codex
- Teams comparing coding agents for adoption
- Tech leads who need a shared working baseline
What your team will be able to do
- Set up Codex for a project and understand its working environment
- Delegate tasks with clear goals, constraints and acceptance criteria
- Provide project instructions so results match your conventions
- Inspect, test and correct agent output before merging
- Judge which tasks suit delegation and which need hands-on work
Agenda
- What Codex is and how it worksOverview of the agent, its working environment and the ways to interact with it.
- First delegated taskHand over a small, well-defined task and follow how the agent proceeds.
- Writing good instructionsGoals, boundaries and acceptance criteria. Using project instruction files to carry conventions.
- Reviewing agent outputReading diffs, running tests and asking for targeted revisions instead of starting over.
- Task selectionWhich work is a good fit for delegation, such as bug fixes, tests or small refactorings, and which is not.
- Backlog labParticipants work through tickets from their own backlog and discuss results in a closing retrospective.
