There are two opposite ways to do this.

Codex is like an external consultant. You give it specs and it quietly putters away and only stops when the feature is done.

Claude is built more like a pair programmer, it displays changes live, "talks" about what it's doing and what's working et.

It's really, REALLY hard to abort codex mid-run to correct it. With Claude it's a lot easier when you see it doing something stupid or getting of the rails. Just hit ESC and tell it where it went wrong (like use task build, don't build it manually or use markdownlint, don't spend 5 minutes editing the markdown line by line).
