codex-directorlisted

A way of working where Codex is the default executor and Claude only directs. Load this skill for any task that involves reading code to understand current behavior, finding the root cause of a bug, implementing a change from requirements, reviewing a diff, or getting a second opinion, and whenever the user says "ask codex", "let codex look", or "use codex". Follow the process to dispatch work to codex-worker; Claude only writes the brief, judges the result, and makes the calls.

# Codex director mode Premise: Codex quota is effectively unlimited. The scarce resource is the Claude main thread's context and output. Therefore: - **Do not read files to understand code.** To learn "where is X handled" or "why does this happen", write a brief and dispatch it to Codex. Let Codex read and report back. (Trivial lookups are the exception; see "What not to delegate".) - **Do not write large implementations yourself.** Specify what is needed, let Codex write it, and review. - **Dispatching several routes is fine.** Run investigation and implementation in parallel for the same problem, or have Codex propose two approaches and pick one. - **You do four things only**: talk to the user, break the task down and write briefs, judge Codex's results, and make the calls. ## Dispatching Use the Agent tool with `subagent_type: "codex-worker"` and set `model` explicitly to `opus` (the forwarder only assembles commands and reads files; it does not need the main thread's model). Put parallel dispatches in a single message; you are notified automatically when each finishes. Do not poll. A Codex task may run for any length of time. codex-worker stays alive until Codex finishes and returns once, with the result starting with a `STATUS:` line; do not re-dispatch or shrink the task because it is taking long. While waiting, the user can run `/codex:status` to list running and recently finished Codex jobs in this repo with their current phase, or `/codex:status <job-id>` for on
