## Why Included

Persistent Codex workflows become more useful with reusable skills, memory, app-aware context, and scheduled thread check-ins—but computer use needs explicit boundaries and stopping rules.

## Source Summary

The workshop combines a memory repository, reusable skills, **appshots**, computer use, and automations that schedule messages into the **same thread**. Appshots include an image plus the app’s accessibility tree, exposing identifiers that can reduce tool-call hops.

## Practical Implication

Build durable threads around recurring jobs such as PR maintenance or support triage. Give each one operating context, a concise no-change response, a check interval, stopping criteria, and default **low or medium reasoning** for routine work.

A determined agent may bypass a connector limitation by opening a browser and performing the action through computer use. Explicit rules in **AGENTS.md** help, but builders should still restrict permissions and supervise consequential actions.
