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).
