Codex users who want repeated sessions to compound

01
Use MCP context at the start of a Codex session.
02
Capture durable project facts while implementation choices are fresh.
03
Recall and capture handoff-style context through Origin so future Codex or Claude Code sessions can continue.
01
Quick answer
In Codex, use Origin as an MCP memory layer: start with context, capture decisions and gotchas, recall specific prior work, and leave a handoff-style memory before ending.
Origin gives Codex a local shared context layer rather than a Codex-only note. Native Codex Memories and AGENTS.md help Codex itself; Origin MCP memory is the shared daemon layer that Claude Code, Cursor, and other clients can also use.
02
When this problem appears
Codex can inspect a repo, but it cannot infer why prior sessions chose a tradeoff or which external constraint mattered unless that context is recorded.
03
Run the Codex loop
Keep the loop short enough to use during real work.
- Call context when starting a task or switching topics.
- Capture decisions, gotchas, and project constraints as atomic memories.
- Use recall with project names and failure modes.
- Capture a handoff before stopping if work remains open.
04
What to check next
Avoid generic captures such as 'worked on repo.' Name the concrete decision, file area, or gotcha that future Codex sessions should know.
Try the local memory loop
Install Origin, connect your AI client, and verify that capture, recall, and handoff work on your machine.
