Keep Codex Fast

When Codex starts feeling heavy after weeks of chats, terminals, logs, worktrees, and project history, this gives you a calm way to inspect what is going on and reduce local drag.
This skill helps you organize local state without losing context.
The rule is simple:
Make handoffs first. Archive, don't delete. Apply changes only when you are ready.
Who This Is For
Use this if Codex has started feeling slower after heavy use, especially if you:
- keep long chats around
- resume old threads often
- work across many repos
- run multiple terminals or dev servers
- want maintenance to feel safe, not scary
What It Does
By default, this skill only reports. It does not write files, create backups, move folders, or change local Codex state until you explicitly ask it to.
It helps Codex:
- see which local state has grown over time
- create handoff docs before archiving old chats
