System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides reference documentation for invoking OpenAI Codex through Claude's wrapper scripts, helping developers understand how to start Codex, pass queries, monitor progress, and retrieve results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wrapper Script Overview: Describes codex-start.sh, codex-wait.sh, and codex-get-session-id.sh and how they coordinate to run Codex tasks.
  • Query & Output Handling: Guides how to create a temporary query file, feed it to Codex, and read the JSONL output.
  • Session Management Scenarios: Explains starting new sessions and resuming existing ones using session IDs.

Quick Start

Use the codex-start.sh wrapper to begin a Codex session with a prepared query file, then poll with codex-wait.sh until completion, and finally read the JSONL output from the rundir.
