Workflow Preferences

Default to a balanced cost/performance profile for everyday work.
Use cheaper profiles for small edits, reviews, and narrow tasks.
Reserve higher reasoning settings for architecture, hard debugging, or multi-file refactors.
Keep always-loaded instructions short.
Distill reusable knowledge into markdown memory notes after substantial work.
Periodically audit local Codex storage and archive old session transcripts instead of relying on them as memory.
