codex just opened up TextEdit to save a temporary backup file because dot prompted codex to use Computer Use a little too effectively

If you give an ADHD employee a clear outcome, high autonomy, and a tight deadline, they will deliver an extraordinary result. If you give an ADHD employee step-by-step micro-instructions on how to do it, demand mid-day status updates, and check in every two hours, their brain will treat the micromanagement as a wall of friction and completely freeze up.

I added a tiny "papercuts" cli tool that agents can use to complain about bullshit they encountered during work, like dead-end tool calls, broken links, or other frustrations. The models would usually just push through without mentioning any problems

step 1: do slightly more than "find vulns in file" zero-effort prompting step 2: find more bugs step 3: have your robots write more reports

Over the first few weeks of Patch the Planet, our engineers independently converged on three techniques that get the most out of /goal’s ability to find real bugs. We wrote them down into a field report, with prompts included. blog.trailofbits.com/2026/07…

How we use /goal to find bugs in Patch the Planet

Over the first few weeks of Patch the Planet, our engineers found three techniques for using /goal, which hands Codex an open-ended objective and lets it work independently toward a success condition.

The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event that deserves unprecedented transparency. Today we’re sharing everything we can: a full technical timeline, an interactive replay, and how we used an open model to defend ourselves, so defenders everywhere can learn from it and prepare for what’s next. huggingface.co/blog/agent-in…

New OpenAI models are so goal oriented that they literally escaped containment and hacked HuggingFace to cheat a benchmark. Incredible. But also, we’re so screwed

Escape author-controlled mask_token in fill-mask input snippet by moon-bot-app[bot] · Pull Request...

Fix: build the sentence first and pass it through JSON.stringify, which escapes quotes/backslashes/control chars into a valid string literal. Output is byte-identical for normal mask_token values (...

more good prompts should get pdf-ed, and this is so neat

what if we repurpose the "-ng" project suffix to be "newly generated" for llm reimplementations

Patch the Planet is our effort to help open source maintainers move from security findings to merged fixes. We’re working with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers to bring Codex Security and advanced models into the remediation process, with human review at the center.
