Threads
Threads in the Codex app
In this channel's material, Threads refers to individual conversations with your agent inside OpenAI's Codex app — the graphical command center for managing agents that is deliberately neither a terminal nor an IDE [^LfPNaoYMaRY@136][^LfPNaoYMaRY@102][^LfPNaoYMaRY@124].
How threads fit the structure
Threads are one layer in the app's organization model. Workspaces group related threads — like folders, but able to hold multiple repos in one workspace [^LfPNaoYMaRY@148]. The rule of thumb from the walkthrough: workspaces organize projects; threads organize conversations [^LfPNaoYMaRY@136].
