When resuming don't use any configuration flags unless explicitly requested by the user e.g. if he species the model or the reasoning effort when requesting to resume a session. Resume syntax: . All flags have to be inserted between exec and resume.echo "your prompt here" | codex exec --skip-git-repo-check resume --last 2>/dev/null2>/dev/null to all codex exec commands to suppress thinking tokens (stderr). Only show stderr if the user explicitly requests to see thinking tokens or if debugging is needed.| Use case | Sandbox mode | Key flags |

| Apply local edits | workspace-write | --sandbox workspace-write --full-auto 2>/dev/null |
| Permit network or broad access | danger-full-access | --sandbox danger-full-access --full-auto 2>/dev/null |
| Resume recent session | Inherited from original | echo "prompt" | codex exec --skip-git-repo-check resume --last 2>/dev/null (no flags allowed) |
| Run from another directory | Match task needs | -C <DIR> plus other flags 2>/dev/null |
codex command, immediately use AskUserQuestion to confirm next steps, collect clarifications, or decide whether to resume with codex exec resume --last.echo "new prompt" | codex exec resume --last 2>/dev/null. The resumed session automatically uses the same model, reasoning effort, and sandbox mode from the original session.codex --version or a codex exec command exits non-zero; request direction before retrying.--full-auto, --sandbox danger-full-access, --skip-git-repo-check) ask the user for permission using AskUserQuestion unless it was already given.AskUserQuestion.
