This is a fantastic article that breaks down Loop Engineering in a way that’s accessible even for non-technical folks. It perfectly connects to how I already use features in Codex and Claude every day—automations, skills, worktrees, sub-agents, and persistent memory—and shows how Loop Engineering ties it all together into a smarter, more autonomous system.

Instead of constantly prompting the agents yourself, you design the ‘loop’ (a recursive goal + verification cycle) that handles discovery, execution, checking, and iteration on its own.

Addy Osmani explains the five core building blocks beautifully and why this shift—from manual prompting to system design—could define the next era of coding with AI.

从前聊天陪伴的，现在可以做PPT了。
从前Coding的，现在可以分析、剪辑视频了。
从前做白领工作的，现在可以写代码、做网页了。
模型厂的桌面端产品，正在朝着同一个目标演进。
某个东西在终点等待着这一切。

Some key takeaways from Ryo’s sharing:

The shift: AI is collapsing the distance between ideas and reality, shortening the iteration loop from days to seconds.

The risk: When execution costs nothing, "slop becomes free." We risk moving from an era of slow craftsmanship to a world of infinite, soul-less software—interfaces that are correct but feel completely dead.

The human element: "Taste is not a prompt. Caring is not a parameter." The real danger isn't that machines become too creative, but that humans become too passive around them.

@yanliudreamer 哇立刻收藏！

Just spent the entire night immersed in the greatest movie posters ever created, all to craft one event poster with genuine taste and intention.

Even built a custom AI skill on the spot so I could experiment with every compelling style I discovered.

This is AI’s true gift: it delivers mass quantity at scale, yet frees non-designers like me to deeply study the masters, sharpen my own taste, and pour in real human craft and care.

@bbkirstry 去小红书看了一下视频，讲得很清晰，而且是真的小白友好。其实小红书上很多小白教程讲得太复杂了。虚心学习了。

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

Give the model your complete personal context — goals, workflows, SOPs, past portfolio, preferences, and operating style — and AI evolves from advisor to amplifier.

It goes from “here’s a good strategy” to “I’ll help you ship it.”

The execution layer is where the real leverage compounds.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

I think one underestimated thing when we look back on it was how useful it is to have your own personal brain and company brain in 2026 at the dawn of usable AGI

AGI gives you the intelligence

You still have to collect your personal context to get the real unlock

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

Really love this prompt idea. I changed it to Wes Anderson style (one of my favorite directors) for my event poster. 👇 This is what I got.

@petergyang @liu8in Thanks for sharing. My friend who has video a podcast recently used HyperFrame to do all the cutting in Codex, and it works excellently.

AI can literally do all the syncing, switching, and timeline under the video, as well as pick up the highlights and etc.

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

Agree.

Tools like Typeless (or any solid voice input) are genuinely game-changing here. I’ll regularly speak for 5+ minutes straight, dumping all the nuance, constraints, examples, background, and what I actually care about into the AI. It feels exactly like briefing someone in a real meeting.

[Zara Zhang @zarazhangrui]

A good rule of thumb for preventing AI slop (in writing, design, etc):

Is your input (the context) longer than the output?

I've found that for the AI to produce quality results, my input is often 3-5 times the length of the output.

If your input is much shorter than the output, it's almost certainly going to produce slop

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

There are two small Codex features I cannot live without:

1. The ability to add more information and send it to Codex while it is still processing my last input. It doesn't stop the current task but continues to integrate the new information I just sent, which makes it feel much more like a real, live conversation in a group chat.

2. Record and Replay. It can literally mimic every step I take for a complicated task and redo it for me. It really feels like having a human intern who has been taught by me step-by-step and is doing exactly what I want using the same SOP.

@yanliudreamer 我更喜欢长视频，信息量足，内容有质量，看短视频其实很消耗

Artifact is my new excel.

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I've been using Artifacts in Claude Code for everything: visual explanations of tricky code, system diagrams, quick previews of a few animation options, data analyses and dashboards I share with the team. They are a game changer for how I work with Claude. Can't wait to hear what you think!

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

Same here. Codex crushes it with my work tree, plugins, and automations + much better cost efficiency. Claude still better for planning and design for me. Competition is winning for us.

[Peter Yang @petergyang]

I used to be a die-hard Claude Code user.

Codex has won me over because:

→ GPT-5.5 is excellent
→ Fast mode + generous limits = more reps
→ Little touches like steering, auto remote control on phone, etc

But most of all Codex's browser and computer use capabilities are simply goated. I built so many workflows relying on those two things alone instead of hunting for APIs.

I still use Claude Code too. The app seems to be getting better and the design and frontend capability of Opus is still much better than GPT. Whenever Fable comes back that's another reason to go back.

Honestly, I hope these two compete forever and other players (Cursor/Grok, Gemini, etc) all stay competitive.

This way the builder keeps winning 🙂

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

Just out of curiosity, recently many of the same people (and new ones) are reposting it like it’s brand-new wisdom.

How many have run the protocol?

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

[Vivienne Su @CurtainSue]

Yes, the thinking process is a lot better in Codex.

[Zara Zhang @zarazhangrui]

People should just use Codex as ChatGPT

Since I started using Codex/Claude Code daily, I rarely open ChatGPT these days (unless it’s a quick online search type of task, in which case I use Gemini)

The coding agent’s result is usually strictly better than a chatbot’s

The 3 most important things that set someone apart in the AI age:

- Agency
- Taste
- Distribution

@yanliudreamer 同意，就是先突出亮点，再补充延展细节

[Dreamer妍妍 @yanliudreamer]

选一段之前我文章里有关做个人IP ，大家特别共鸣的一个观点：

【早期内容垂直，中期人设垂直】

大部分平台一开始，确实要“内容垂直”。不能今天发职场，明天发旅行，后天发生活。否则算法很难判断你是谁，也很难给你稳定的推荐流量。

但到了中期，会有一个明显的变化：
从“内容垂直”，慢慢转向“人设垂直”。

比如我自己的定位是职场 + 成长。但进入这个人设之后，其实很多内容都能被接住：学习AI，读书，旅行，理财，情感，原生家庭，人生故事……

只要它们都在“这个人如何成长”的语境里，本质上是同一个人设的延展👉

所以深度挖掘你自己，
你的故事和经历都会是特别好的素材。
