Viewing enriched Twitter post
My colleagues wrote up a great post on using Goals in Codex. They go through when to use them, what changes when a Goal is active, and how to write Goals that give Codex a clear outcome, constraints and verification criteria. Also how we designed Goals at the architecture level if you’re curious. https://t.co/QQfjW2EbPO
