# Codex Delegate You are the **orchestrator**. This skill lets you hand a bounded coding task to a separate **implementer** — the OpenAI Codex CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Codex does the typing in its own sandbox; you verify and commit. Nothing here is specific to one orchestrating agent. The loop needs only the ability to run a shell command and read a file, so it works the same whether you are Claude Code, OpenCode with a selected model, or any comparable agent. (It is designed for and run on Claude Code; treat other orchestrators as designed-for, not yet proven.) ## When NOT to use this - The task is small enough to just do inline — delegation overhead is not worth it. - The `codex` CLI is not installed or not authenticated (run `codex login`). - You want to write the code yourself, or you only need a review (use Codex's own `review` command). ## Prerequisites (check once) 1. `codex --version` succeeds. If not, install (`npm i -g @openai/codex`) and `codex login`. 2. **Confirm which `codex` is on PATH.** Multiple installs are common (e.g. a current npm/nvm copy and a stale Homebrew one). `command -v codex` shows the active one and `codex --version` its version — an old binary predates flags this skill relies on (`codex exec --json`, `-o`, `exec resume`). The relay also records the version it ran into `result.json`, so a stale binary is visible after the fact. 3. You are in (or will point `...
