Level 0: Chat Advisor — Ask Outside the Repository
About 5 minutes
Target audience: Readers who have started using Codex for coding advice and sample generation
Prerequisites: No prior knowledge required
Level 0 uses Codex as a coding advisor. You can get answers, but a human must verify whether they fit the real repository.
What Level 0 Means
Section titled “What Level 0 Means”Codex does not inspect the target repository, edit files, or run commands. Typical uses include explaining an error, generating a function example, or comparing designs.
Show a minimal React example that renders an array as a list.Limitations
Section titled “Limitations”The answer may not match the actual dependencies, conventions, or implementation. Treat generated code as reference material and review it before adoption.
Completion Standard
Section titled “Completion Standard”- Treat Codex output as advice rather than verified repository work
- Check dependencies and conventions before using generated code
- Recognize when a question requires repository inspection
Next Level
Section titled “Next Level”Level 1: Repository Reader — Investigate the Code uses real files as evidence.
