What GPT Codex is good at

GPT Codex is good at writing tests, refactoring and reviewing risky code. In our tests, GPT 5.3 Codex wrote six Vitest cases for a slugify function, moved a callback to async/await, and flagged that retrying 4xx payment errors repeats bad requests, recommending idempotency keys and backoff.

Write tests

Write Vitest tests for a slugify(text) function that lowercases, trims and replaces spaces with hyphens. Cover an empty string and repeated spaces.

Refactor a function

Refactor this callback-based Node.js code to async/await: fs.readFile(path, "utf8", (err, data) => { if (err) return cb(err); cb(null, JSON.parse(data)); });

Review a change

Review this change for bugs: a function now retries a payment request three times on any error, including 4xx responses.

Codex’s refactor wrapped the code in a try/catch that only rethrows the error, which adds nothing. Three sample prompts tested live by Chandan Kumar on November 11, 2026. Answers are unedited and regenerated for every new model.
