Coding agents need better prompt navigation

Something I’d really like to see in Codex or Claude Code: an easy way to jump back through my own prompts.

When a response comes back, I’m often trying to connect it to something I said earlier. Right now that means scrolling through a long conversation looking for the sections with a different background color.

Some of the web interfaces already do something like this with a collapsible view of your prompts. It turns your side of the conversation into a table of contents.

That would be especially useful in coding agents, where a session can run for hours and your prompts are basically the decisions, corrections, and changes in direction along the way.

Let me navigate the session by what I said, not by dragging through everything the agent said back.
