Decision boundary for Codex

Stop babysitting Codex.

Let Him Grill resolves safe, reversible planning decisions on its own—and stops when your judgment actually changes the outcome.

Not a blanket “continue autonomously” instruction: it records the path, pauses at material Human-Gates, and reassesses dependent branches when earlier choices change. Open a portable decision tree.

Molebyte keeps the branches moving.

Our project mascot works the safe, reversible paths and leaves the decisions with real consequences at the human gate.

Six decisions evaluated. Five resolved autonomously. One human gate. Change an earlier choice and only its dependent path gets reassessed. Read the recorded branch reassessment. Open a portable artifact.

Before autonomous resolution: six decisions are waiting as human gates.

After autonomous resolution: five decisions are resolved and one human gate remains.

Grill only what matters.

Same evidence-first discipline as Grill with Docs, with fewer interruptions and an explicit handoff before implementation.

01 / INSPECT

Read before asking

Codex researches project code, documentation, terminology, and prior decisions first.

02 / RESOLVE

Keep moving

Low-risk reversible choices get a reasoned recommendation and are resolved automatically.

03 / STOP

Your call when it matters

Product intent, architecture, security, cost, and hard-to-reverse choices stay human.
