Large Language Models & AI Market: PM Guide: Designing with Codex and Taste Skill
Aakash Gupta publishes a newsletter episode featuring designer Meng To on practical AI design for product managers, focusing on using OpenAI’s Codex as a more powerful design harness than Claude. The piece outlines a setup (context folders, skills, connectors), recommends installing the Taste Skill (GitHub repo with 60k+ stars) and Playwright for UI screenshots, and highlights Codex features such as Codex Mobile and a screenshot shortcut (press both Command keys). It also describes a workflow—plan with context, build with the taste skill, iterate with human review—and lists tools and integrations (Figma, Slack, PostHog, Linear, Arize). The article is framed around a podcast episode and includes sponsor and course promotion.
Practical PM-level guidance on using LLM tools (Codex) and design workflows; useful to practitioners but not a major platform policy, product launch, or industry-shifting announcement.
Wichtigste Kernpunkte & Evidenz
- Meng To said he 'barely uses Claude anymore' and prefers using Codex for AI design.
- The newsletter recommends the 'taste-skill' GitHub repo (described as having 60K+ stars) as a core 'anti-slop' skill for AI frontends.
- Two Codex features highlighted are 'Codex Mobile' (connects the ChatGPT/Codex mobile app to desktop) and a screenshot shortcut (press both Command keys) that drops an image into chat as visual context.
- Recommended workflow: build a folder structure for cascading context, use skills (taste-skill) for style constraints, and connect tools/plugins (Figma, Slack, Playwright) as connectors.
- The newsletter is sponsored by Arize and references a paid course cohort (AI PM, PM fundamentals, How to get a PM Job) with associated application and webinar links.
