Use Codex Skills for tickets, analytics, and upkeep
They set up Codex Skills to draft Linear tickets from voice notes, check YouTube stats, and run routine self-improvement tasks.
- What they did
- Keith Rumjahn saved repeat instructions as Codex Skills so he could reuse them. One skill takes a spoken feature idea and rewrites it into a Linear ticket with the right structure. Another pulls his YouTube channel data, then recommends changes he could make. He also scheduled two recurring jobs: Upskill runs each night using failure logs, and Update Agents.md refreshes every 12 hours based on his chats.
- How it went
- He says the analytics skill cuts out about 90 minutes of work every Sunday. Since he started acting on its recommendations, channel views are up 114% and watch time is up 111%. No number was given for the Linear ticket skill.
- Tips
- Codex needs ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 per month. If you build a similar workflow, have it stop for approval before it creates, sends, deletes, or submits anything.
Try it yourself with Codex
Set up a reusable Codex skill for me. I will paste a transcript of a voice memo about [feature]. Turn it into a Linear ticket for [project/team] with [summary], [details], [acceptance criteria], and [priority]. Before you create the ticket, show me the draft and wait for my approval. After that, add a scheduled skill that reviews [YouTube analytics or another analytics source] on [weekly day/time] and returns the main changes plus suggested next steps. Also add two recurring automations: one that runs [nightly] from [failure logs or another error source] to propose improvements, and one that refreshes [Agents.md or another file] every [12 hours] using [conversation history or another source].
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
