Command reference · Codex CLI

/plan

Shows or manages the work plan for the current task.

/plan is part of the official list of interactive Codex slash commands and refers to the plan for the task running within the session. It complements commands like /status and /goal, which let you track the goal and progress of a session.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Overview of the planned steps before a larger task

/plan — see how Codex intends to approach a multi-step task before approving it

Check mid-task whether the plan still fits the task

/plan — check during an ongoing implementation whether the next steps still make sense

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Task is trivial and single-step

For a simple one-step change, looking at the plan adds little value.

Better: Just state the task directly and let Codex execute it
