Feature Request: Add /prompt command for managing reusable custom prompts (create, edit, delete, select, auto-echo)

What feature would you like to see?

Description
I'd like to request a new feature for Codex CLI: a built-in /prompt command to manage reusable custom prompts.

Use cases / Motivation

• In daily coding, we often reuse similar prompts (e.g. "Write React component with Tailwind CSS", "Generate Jest unit tests", etc.).
• Currently, we need to copy/paste these prompts manually each time.
• A /prompt management system would allow us to store, organize, and quickly reuse prompts locally or in the cloud.

Proposed Features

1. /prompt add <name> <content>

   • Save a custom prompt with a name (alias).

2. /prompt list

   • Show all saved prompts.

3. /prompt edit <name>

   • Edit an existing prompt.

4. /prompt delete <name>

   • Remove a prompt.

5. /prompt use <name>

   • Insert a saved prompt into the current input.

6. Auto echo when using:

   • When selecting a prompt, automatically insert the text into the input so it can be further edited.

7. Storage options:

   • Local file-based management (e.g. ~/.codex/prompts.json).
   • Future option: sync via cloud or account (if supported).

Example Workflow

/prompt add react_component "Write a React component with TailwindCSS and TypeScript."
/prompt use react_component

Codex CLI would auto-fill the input with:

"Write a React component with TailwindCSS and TypeScript."

And then I can edit it before sending.

Benefits

• Greatly improves productivity by avoiding repetitive typing.
• Provides a "personal prompt library" for different projects.
• Fits naturally into CLI workflow (similar to /config or /mcp).

Possible Implementation

• Store prompts in a JSON or TOML file under ~/.codex/.
• Provide CRUD commands under /prompt.
• Optional: support cloud sync in the future.

/prompt use <name>

• Insert a saved prompt into the current input.

This is already possible with the existing custom prompt support I believe:

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/prompts.md
  • Custom prompt args (numeric) #4470
  • Named args for custom prompts #4474
  • etc
