# Improve Codex CLI conversations with a global prompt

Oct 2025 / 7,846 views / [via X](https://x.com/iannuttall/status/1978770148094828597)

one thing i noticed with codex cli is that when you queue up lots of messages it can sometimes have questions and you have to scroll back a lot to read them.

i added a global prompt to always list questions at the very end so i can quickly respond

works very well!
