Codex CLI 0.94.0: Plan Mode & Skills Loading

TL;DR

• Plan mode now enabled by default with improved interaction guidance
• Personality configuration is stable with automatic migration from old settings
• Skills can load from .agents/skills with nested folder support
• Runtime metrics added to console output for diagnostics

New

• Plan mode enabled by default — Activated with updated interaction guidance in the plan prompt for better planning workflows.
• Stable personality configuration — Default is friendly, config key is personality, and existing settings automatically migrate forward.
• Skills loading from .agents/skills — Load custom skills with clearer relative-path instructions and recursive nested-folder support.
• Runtime metrics in console — Console output now includes runtime metrics for easier diagnostics and performance tracking.

Fixed

• Unarchiving threads now updates timestamps so sidebar ordering refreshes correctly.
• Conversation rules output is capped and prefix rules are deduplicated to prevent repeated rules.
• Override turn context no longer appends extra items.

Update with: npm install -g @openai/codex-cli@0.94.0 or check the full release on GitHub.
